J-Horror Isn’t Total Madness…Just A Bit Repetitive?

It’s not that Japanese horror, or J-Horror is bad. Hollywood likes it because it’s easy. We like it because it seems different. Sometimes the scares don’t translate well for us who have been spoon fed the likes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween for years.
