Nah, I really mean philosophical.
American horror is pretty well laid out for you, there is never any question on the outcome.
On the other hand, Japanese horror, you're never sure (at least from my North American perspective), the line is never as clear, therefore it doesn't leave you as is - and that's what creates the tension, which would make some philosophers like Kant, Bataille and Artaud, very happy. The subject (you) are not the same.
