Yes its got to be done, most people are aware of the recent overload of horror films from Asia. Japan was the instigator of this trend, the success of Ringu and its sequel, prequel and the seemingly endless remakes guaranteed a flood of similar films from almost every Asian country.

Japan has been creating horror films for a very long time, the classic Onibaba, totally different from the current crop still stands out as an exercise in terror, unfortunately Japan is also responsible for some of the worst horror films ever made and well be covering the extremely well done to the terrifyingly awful and everything in-between.

Be prepared for honest comments, if a film is bad, youll know about it, likewise if a film stands head and shoulders above the others, itll receive the praise its due.
