I don't like Japanese ghost movies that much either. With the exception of Kwaidan, which is nothing like Ringu or Ju-on anyway. Remember, however, that Tetsuo, Kwaidan, Ichi the Killer and such are not as attainable as Ringu, Ju-On and others like them. Videostores don't take a gamble on true Asian cult. That's something people have to find on Netflix or purchase. But, will people purchase a movie they haven't seen in a genre that has disappointed them before? Usually no. So, these misconceptions about Asian horror will probably continue until we can assemble an Asian horror/ cult top blankety blank list. People who deprive themselves of ultraviolent Yakuza outings and kickass Sukeban flicks are sorely deprived.
