Beginning with "Godzilla," Colette Balmain follows the evolution of Japanese horror from the 1950s to contemporary classics such as "Ringu" and "Ju-On: The Grudge." Divided thematically, she identifies the vengeful virgin, the demonic child, the doomed lovers, and the supernatural serial killer, relating them to traditional Japanese mythology and folk-tales. She also unpacks the aesthetics of the Japanese horror film and the uses of setting, lighting, music, and mise-en-scene that make Japanese horror such a visceral experience. She concludes with the impact of Japanese horror on contemporary American cinema, reading remakes of "Ringu," "Dark Water," and "Ju-On: The Grudge."
