J-Horror Month

From the middle of March 2025 through to the middle of April 2025. We are celebrating the whacky, macabre, world of Japanese horror. We will be checking out some of the greatest J-Horror movies of all time and bringing you reviews. I will, also, be adding my prior Japanese horror movie reviews to this category to make it easier to find all of our J-Horror content. Let’s appreciate one of the greatest horror nations on earth.
