japanese horror movies

Everyone knows the best horror movies come from Asia to be specific Japan. unlike western style horror movies Japanese horror movies focuses on psychological horror and tension building that particularly involve ghost or poltergeist while many contain theme of folk religion like shamanism and yokai. Japanese horror movies not only scare the life out of us but also makes us think because we to know the reasons "why is it happening who is at fault and what is the reason" its the suspense of the movie that draws us to it, it is the reason we still watch it even though we are scared. J horror movies also teach us about their tradition and culture, folklore.
