Horror Essentials: Asian Horror Movies
A folkloric tradition as rich in magic and the supernatural as that of Europe gives Asian filmmakers an expansive canvas from which to work when tackling the horror genre. It also helps to give their films a structure and depth of unsettling emotion that is all too often lacking from their Western counterparts. And in an intriguing reversal of the usual cultural exchanges, the breathless, primal terror that drives their best efforts has had a powerful influence on Hollywood scare films, which have begun to incorporate the silent, long-haired ghosts and inescapable curses so emblematic of Asian horror.
