The West has a tendency to lump horror from East and Southeast Asia into one basic but limiting category. Because of this, someone might write off an entire continent’s contributions to the genre based solely on a few popular movies with similar plots and executions.

Showtime’s adaptation of the Swedish vampire novel, “Let the Right One In,” finds strength in characters and relationships rather than visceral gore. “I’m just trying to take care of my kid.” “So am I.” Vampires have always been one of the more popular subgenres of horror for television to explore, but these bloodsuckers are in […]

Stephen King’s work captures sentimentality and the minutia of small-town life well, effectively building the horror from the nostalgic and mundane. In Netflix‘s adaptation of Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, a novella from 2020’s If It Bleeds, a quaint coming-of-age story gets blended with the dangerous pitfalls of technology. The focus on […]
