j-horror doesn't always just consist of horror all the time. it takes some logical thinking as well which we Americans don't have. which is sad really. the American movies always have a dead set ending. always "oh thats what happened" but with Japanese movies the endings leave you off thinking and wondering, and it may take a few watches to understand. but since America is so lazy and want everything done for them they don't want to re watch a movie. they just want everything to be explained to them. now I'm not saying all of America is like this. there is a select few that do have an open mind and are also embarrassed to call themselves American. i have watched a lot of American movies (more than you can count) and i always find myself saying "hes the one who did it, or this is how it ends." within 20 mins. of the movie. but with the few Japanese horror movies i have seen i never find myself thinking of the ending, because its always different. like Audition for example has a completely different ending from the movie Death Note or Premonition(the Japanese version). i don't believe that Japanese movies are intended for horror, they leave the horror up to you. you have to piece the movie together yourself then figure out "oh so thats why so and so killed that person." for example the movie Cello, i had to watch that movie several times before i understood the ending, and when i did that was kind of a weird movie. now until America comes out with a decent horror movie i lose all respect toward them. :mad:
