The beauty of Japanese horror movies lies in their subtlety. Instead of becoming CGI fests, these films solely depend on powerful storylines, elegant framing, and unnerving soundtrack effects. These ace filmmakers’ minimalist approach strikes us with raw, rampant scares. Among these selections are classics like "House (1977)", known for its surreal and nightmarish atmosphere, and Takashi Miike's unsettling "Audition (1999)", which slowly unravels into a horrifying descent into madness. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's haunting "Cure (1997)" delves into the depths of the human psyche, while the iconic "Ringu (1998)" redefined horror with its chilling tale of a cursed videotape. Get ready for a trip full of terror, twists, and some totally riveting experiences. I have handpicked some of the best horror movies in Japan, ranging from psychological horror/thrillers to sinister, gory mystery movies.
