J-horror: The Definitive Guide to The Ring, The Grudge and Beyond | David Kalat
2 posts
J-HORROR: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO THE RING, THE GRUDGE AND BEYOND, is an encyclopedia-like reference to all available Japanese horror films on Celluloid, video and dvd. It begins with a history of the industry that was built around 'The Ring', and how the many different manifestations of the single story spawned a new horror film aesthetic that has resonated the world over. Beyond 'The Ring', David Kalat also goes into the work that has been inspired by such themes as ghosts, little children, the media, and the unnamable aesthetic patina of J-Horror. This extensive history of J-horror looks into about 100 different films, most of which can be found in VHS or DVD format. J-HORROR: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO THE RING, THE GRUDGE AND BEYOND, explains what is going on in Japanese horror film, and also tells you where to find these movies when you're ready to find them.

Ju-on (Japanese version The Grudge). One of my favorite movies. My son says he prefers this version as well, this was his first time seeing the whole thing. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

Geeklet I loved J-horror (and other Asian horror) so much during the years where it was pretty big. I didn‘t keep up with releases much after the trend died but some of those movies are my favorite horror flicks. Ever seen A Tale of Two Sisters? It‘s SOOOO good! There was an American remake but it was pretty awful. 5y
Chrys @Geeklet I haven‘t seen that one but will have to look for it. I haven‘t really kept up with releases either, life got busy. But I do still love the ones I‘ve seen 5y
