Kurosawa's thinking on a different track from American horror filmmakers, not 'how can we scare them' but 'how do these ghosts/creatures/killers act and why?'Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-14940540652802084572009-01-07T07:43:00.000-05:002009-01-07T07:43:00.000-05:00I don't know if this is the same Kurosawa who did ...I don't know if this is the same Kurosawa who did Doppleganger (the lead was the dad from Babel). I saw it on cinema One (dubbed in Tagalog). It was the craziest horror film I've ever seen. In fact it wasn't even horror at all. But I got to hand it to the Japanese for being original (even if its insane). They deal with the psychological factor more than the technical aspect. The American take of the ghost in Pulse was too technical and literal. Which is why it sucked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
