My presentation... J-horror and why it have interested me to do a small scale research on it!!!!

“As the most technologically advanced and saturated society in the world.”
J –horror retains the Japanese aesthetics, by using the genre of Kaidan (or ghost story), with a technological twist of using Kaidan with high performance equipment, to create the effect of an modern story. The Japanese directors, refer to Shinto ("the way of the gods") , in which is a major religion, included in most horror based films, in Japan. This religion is a spiritual belief (demons, spirits, and ghosts). Shinto teaches that any dead person can be prayed to.
Yuurie, is the heart of Japanese horror, they are stranded ghosts or sprits that are stuck on this world, because of unfinished buisness. For an example they come back to haunt their murderers,and the people who led them to sucide. The japanese portrayed Yuuerie's as people dress in white clothing, with long black hair, moreover they were mostly related to as females, because they tend to hold grudges for much longer then men, and more powerful.They tend to haunt specific people and places thart related to their past lives.
Horror films are about not being in control, and by not being in control people ask alot of questions, in which Japanese horror films aquire, portraying horror films to be ambiguous, and allows the audience to let their imagination run free, in contrast The western remakes sum up most of the story leaving not very much up to their imagination, its not as authentic or effective or powerfull.

This has interested me, because it explores historical and cultural aspects that’s unique to Japan. Japan not only wants to entertain, but to influence other countries; such as America
From exploring this small scale research I hope to learn where the Hollywood blockbusters originally got their ideas from, and whom they duplicate, and why the western audience enjoy J-horror.
