From classics like Ringu to Dark Water, the late 1990s and early 2000s were a golden age for Japanese and Korean horror.
The Big Picture There are a few watershed moments in horror history, with the Asian horror movie boom of the late '90s and early 2000s being one of them. This was an era that saw the release of one classic after another. When you have movies like Ringu, Ju-On: The Grudge, Dark Water, and Audition dropping one after another, this was a time when audiences were being terrified at every turn in ways that they never had been.
Asian Horror Movies Leaned Into the Times Meanwhile, something very special was happening with Asian horror movies. While there were a few indie hits here and there, most Western hemisphere horror movies were being made in the studio system on a pretty penny. Asian filmmakers, on the other hand, kept in mind that the rawer the scare, the better.
Asian Horror Movies Kept It Simple Simplicity is key to almost all the greatest horror movies, but this is especially the case here. Most of the projects from this period could have their plots summed up with an elevator pitch kind of description. If you watch a cursed VHS tape, you'll die in seven days. A girl and her mother move into a creepy, old apartment complex where they begin experiencing the supernatural.
