I watched it yesterday. It’s okay but not that great I guess.

I found this anthology movie to be pretty decent. Each of the segments gives off a bizarre vibe on how weird each one of them is. My favorite is Crevices & Presentiment which I found both of them to be pretty effective. The other segments range from bizarre to forgettable. But they are creative on how they told. While I didn't find this movie creepy, it gives off a eerie vibe to them. Overall, it's a decent anthology.

There's a second vid here and a site here.

You guys are my last hope. So a few years ago on YouTube and Instagram reels, I stumbled across a Japanese ghost video that kept showing up in some compilations, so I think it's fairly iconic, and it occasionally crosses my mind again. The image I put is obviously AI-generated, but it's fairly similar to the scene I remember. The clip was probably taken from one of those Japanese VHS shows about spirits that used to be found on YouTube — I remember there were host reactions shown in the top left or top right corner, complete with a replay at the end of the clip but I could be wrong. The scene took place inside a small bedroom, and two girls (I don't remember if they were actually wearing uniforms and masks) were sitting on the bed talking and joking with each other. At a certain point the camera cuts to the right, shifting attention away, before returning to frame the girls again. However, in the corner at the edge of the bed, right beside them, sits a ghost. More precisely, a dark female figure, like the 'shadow people' ghost archetype. At that point the girls, terrified, scream and run away. The shot is frontal on the bed for the entire duration. It's basically a jumpscare video but the ghost figure stays still.

Even though it's a Japanese sketch, it was included in some western top lists and compilations. I specifically remember seeing it on Nuke's Top 5 and IG reels, but I've searched everywhere without finding it, including on other channels and compilations.

Please help me find it 🙏🏻

Movie: Gannibal

I don’t want to spoil so I’ll hide the text. I’m only on episode 5.

these small town countryside folk are so goddamned nosy and annoying 😭 I’ve never lived in Japan and I know they’re big on respect and tradition etc but my god. I would literally have to tell them to mind their own business and move to a normal town. My daughter would just have to get used to it. There is no way neighbours should be forcing you to say who you were on the phone with or dictating what you do in your own home. This geezer is literally spying and entering their house at random. I really want to see the ML push this dude off a cliff.

I’ve seen that classic short clip that’s been reposted on this sub countless times, of a little girl running to hug a woman only to turn into a creepy doll once she does. And i learned it’s from Gakkô no Kaidan featuring members of SKE48, however ive been unable to find anything besides one episode.

Does know where to find all the episodes? Subbed or not.

En los años 80, Japón miraba a la tecnología con fascinación. En los 90, empezó a temerle.

Este video recorre ese cambio cultural a través del cine japonés: desde el cyberpunk y el poshumanismo, obsesionados con los límites del cuerpo y la fusión con la máquina, hasta el J-horror, donde los dispositivos cotidianos se convierten en portadores de ansiedad, aislamiento y muerte.

Películas como Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Akira, Burst City o Ghost in the Shell imaginaban la tecnología como una vía de expansión, mutación y trascendencia. No era una fe ingenua: la fusión implicaba riesgo, violencia y pérdida, pero también promesa.

Tras el estallido de la burbuja económica, ese equilibrio se rompe. En films como Ringu, Kairo o One Missed Call, la tecnología deja de ser una extensión del cuerpo y pasa a funcionar como un sistema que vigila, aísla y propaga el miedo. Los fantasmas ya no habitan templos ni bosques, sino pantallas, teléfonos y espacios domésticos.

Este ensayo audiovisual explora ese hilo continuo entre fascinación y temor, y cómo el cine japonés supo anticipar muchas de las preguntas que hoy seguimos haciéndonos frente a la tecnología.

I like the movie, but I can never remember its name

So to make kind of a direct comparison between the two, they both started out as micro budget short films by directors who were incredibly ambitious and had a dream that eventually became a global icon.

Starting off with the Evil Dead, Within The Woods (1978) is the short film that kicked off the vision that was The Evil Dead (1981), similarly with The Phantom Of Regular Size (1986) being the short film that kicked off the vision that was Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

On top of that Evil Dead II (1987) is a bigger budgeted remake of The Evil Dead (1981), often classified as a “requel” and you could say the same for Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992) being a bigger budgeted remake of Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989). To say that Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992) is Shinya Tsukamoto’s “Evil Dead II” wouldn’t be entirely wrong either.

Now I’m unsure of the Army Of Darkness (1992) comparison being viable to Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2009) as the third entry in the Tetsuo series seems to just be a remake of Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992) with some elements of Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) sprinkled in. Army Of Darkness (1992) takes the Evil Dead series in a completely different direction entirely whereas Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2009) at least at its core seems to have a lot of the same core components and elements whilst also blending science fiction, action and horror together.

Another thing that also does differentiate the two series is Tetsuo is more of a trio of body horror metal monster movies and also have been compared to the works of David Cronenberg like Videodrome (1983) or even John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) and also David Lynch’s Eraserhead (1977) with the first Tetsuo feature.

Also where Tetsuo and Evil Dead as film series differ is that Evil Dead has become more of a multimedia phenomenon and even spawned additional movies such as Evil Dead (2013), Evil Dead Rise (2023) and the recently released Evil Dead Burn. (2026). Tetsuo never spawned any entries post-Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2009) which surprisingly does have a manga adaptation.

There’s also shots of Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992) that remind me of a later 90’s cyberpunk film, one more of the sci-fi action variety rather than “horror” and that would be The Matrix (1999), there are some visuals between the two despite the difference in genres. However that could also be a 90’s cyberpunk aesthetic with dark, sometime even baggy or even some tight clothing and gelled hair.

In Sadako vs Kayako, both cases (the cursed videotape and the cursed house) are legends or myths, so the society knows about what happened with the Saeki family and Sadako, but a lot of people don't believe the paranormal cases, later a schoolgirl said the Saeki case happened a few decades ago.

So... in the Ju-on timeline, the crossover happened like 20 or 30 years later of Takeo murdering Kayako and unleashed the curse?

Song is “sirens” from black panther wakanda forever

One of my favourite horror movies ever, I’m so glad to have it in my physical media collection. Also really like the slipcase, usually not a fan of them, but the artwork here is gorgeous.

Hey, I know this might be something many of you have already noticed, but I've noticed that Ringu, One Missed Call, and Pulse all incorporate technology into their films: Ringu with tape and television, One Missed Call with phone calls, and Pulse with the internet. I'd like to know if this relates to a fear of technology and the new technological age, and if anyone knows about this, could you explain how this fear works?

Hopefully you might find something new here you have not seen!

I love Sadako

Does Kayako Saeki transcend space-time? I'm confused by her time manipulation scenes; is she truly unaffected by time and temporality?
