Asian Horror

Asian Horror is the new term appears on the horror movie recently. It is new horror movie type come from Asia; it is mainly focus on creating the mood and discerning the story behind the serial killer or the ghosts in order to point out the reason of everything to reaming and warning the audiences. Moreover, it usually involves with the Asian country’s tradition and cultures. That could attract more audiences because in those Asian horror movies is not only can entertaining but also can learn something useful from it. I believe it is why the Asian horror is so popular in Hollywood now.
The area covers by the Asian horror are mainly included: Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan and Thailand. These five countries are the places produced most of the movies in Asia. As the technology of the movie is keep improving today and the convenient of internet. Those Asian countries can easily adapt to the new technology and improving the quality of the movies which makes the audiences around the world have more choice beside the Hollywood movies. The movie which produced in Asia is different from America because the style, story and type of the character are so unique that is so easy to catch the people’s eyes and I believe that is the main reason why the Asian horror is so popular all over the world now. Unalike, the Hollywood movie is full of the violence and bloody sense. The Asian movie is more looking forward on the meaning on the story which can sort of educated people and learning something such as how to interact with other, and we should do something good for others. Therefore, that is the main reasons why people are so crazy about Asian horror.
