J-Horror

J-Horror, or Japanese horror, is a genre characterized by a psychological, atmospheric approach focusing on supernatural elements like ghosts, curses, and spirits rooted in Japanese folklore. It emphasizes mood, dread, and emotional impact over gore, often exploring themes of guilt, revenge, and societal fears. Iconic examples include films like "Ring" and "Ju-On," which use suspense and haunting imagery to evoke a sense of unease. J-Horror has influenced global horror with its unique aesthetic and storytelling style, blending traditional beliefs with modern fears to create immersive, thought-provoking experiences.
