Yeah, I'll concede that. There's not much character development or central.... theme to the madness, but I prefer how japanese horror plays on the perception of reality and illicits fear in me from presenting supernaturally unnatural situations. Lots of American horror attempts to produce these reactions by showing increasingly realistic and gruesome situations, and showing how fearsome humanity is when one loses their grasp on their morals. I prefer the asian approach of dropping the realism and using the supernatural to describe these horrors.
