This documentary explores the history of what was the first major horror film craze of the 21st century, J-horror, from its unknown origins to seminal works of the genre such as The Ring (1998) and Ju-on: The Grudge (2002). Through a series of interviews with its most important representatives, this film reveals how these supernatural tales address major philosophical questions regarding contemporary life.
