It screens as part of CUFF.Docs Sat Nov 25th @ 9:30 pm at the Globe Cinema in Calgary.THE J-HORROR VIRUS charts the origins, evolution and diffusion across the world of a distinctive brand of made-in-Japan supernatural chillers featuring vengeful ghosts manifesting themselves through contemporary technology against a backdrop of urban alienation and social decay. From its origins in Teruyoshi Ishii’s fake documentary PSYCHIC VISION: JAGANREI (1988) and Norio Tsuruta’s seminal SCARY TRUE STORIES (1991/92) straight-to-video series, through such key titles as Hideo Nakata’s RING (1998), Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s PULSE (2001) and Takashi Shimizu’s JU-ON: THE GRUDGE (2002), critics and the filmmakers reflect on how the bleak dystopic visions and unsettling atmospheres that made these works so unique infiltrated their way across the world.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/z1ojls--J_lPvUtFgI7by_n74sI_1GQMUnuQl9k9xKA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80ZmMz/MjlkMDU4YjllZTI2/ZDFiZmQ0MWU1OGE4/ZDRhMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
