Nihon Nightmares (Part 3: Ultimatum)

I join here as a co-host to Marc Canale who will guide me through the origins of J-Horror. Together in this episode we begin our journey through the evolution of J-Horror, tapping into the history and early work of the originators of the genre and coming out the other side, I hope, fully prepped for the onslaught of what's to come. Holy Smokes, today we discuss the auteurs, three of the top directors during the J-Horror boom and the films they crafted that shook a generation of genre fans to their very core.
