J-Horror Virus, the documentary on Shudder about J-Horror, is great! It's a must-watch for anyone that appreciates J-horror.
It covers the myths, traditions, and culture that helped lead to the J-Horror tropes (like long black-haired female ghosts). They talk about the directors that sparked its rise, and the movies that birthed it...including a Found-Footage horror from 1988 that I'd never heard of:
And this 1991 horror anthology that includes a ghost scare that Kiyoshi Kurosawa would repeatedly evoke throughout his career...it's the Pulse scare that I always rave about. This 1991 movie has the Pulse scare!
It also has interviews with actresses who played curse girls like Sadako and Kayako. Then, of course, it has all the legendary directors talking about how their films came about, what inspired them, and all of that good stuff. I had no idea that the Ring tv movie predated the books becoming best-sellers. I didn't even know these guys were all friends before any of them debuted.
The portion about Ringu is worth the price of admission alone. Takahashi and Kurosawa were over hear exchanging scripts for Ringu and Cure to trade notes and ideas. No wonder those are two of the greatest movies of all time. I can't stop gushing about this ish...great documentary.

VOTE!!!
We really ain't had a great Frankenstein based film in a minute.. I think that could be the one
@storyteller That Pulse scare is an all-timer. Overall, it’s a film that I find more sad than scary with its message, but the visual of that stumbling ghost will forever stick with me. Japanese horror in general just hits different.

What’s the verdict on Street Trash (both versions)?

Looks like it’ll be fun.

Dude is scalping wigs with his hand. Punching through faces shadowboxing. That’s not enough to gain some interest to watch on a lazy day?

enjoyed ,,,
I like it. Good body horror but a rough watch. The director has some resume tho handling camerawork on Titanic, terminator 2, Heat. You can see flashes of that style in Street trash w the steadicam
