When one speaks of horror films, the immediate thought that
comes to mind is that of ghosts or monsters. Much of what the outside world
would consider Asian horror films to include seeing a figure of a woman with
long hair, a body of water, more displaced hair, some scary-looking kids and
black cats among others. To an extent, viewers will still find movies that use
one or more of these elements, even years after Ringu and Ju-on first hit the
cinemas. However, categorize Asian horror flicks to these elements alone and
you would be missing out on a lot of other great movies.
