July 2022 was a monster month for horror film enthusiasts in Japan. The Taiwanese film " THE SADNESS " (2021) was released on July 1, followed by "Incantation" (2022), also from Taiwan, on Netflix on July 8, and then the Thai film "The Medium" (2021) on July 29. Three Asian horror films in a month.
Horror buffs were shaken by the sheer terror of the films.
In 2018 "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum" drew 2.5 million viewers in South Korea, "Satan’s Slaves 2: Communion" (2017), was the Number. 1 box office hit in Indonesia that year, and China's "The Perilous Internet Ring" (2020) was directed by Norio Tsuruta from Japan. Asian moviegoers are hungry for horror films.
However, in the Japanese film industry, there is not much enthusiasm for horror films. Of course, there have been some hits, such as "HOWLING VILLAGE" (2020) and "OX-HEAD VILLAGE" (2022), but compared to other genres, there have not been as many horror films produced in Japan in recent years.
To restore the J-Horror brand and catch up with other Asian countries, we aim to launch this film globally.
