To mark the release of documentary The J-Horror Virus on Shudder, Harry and Rory are joined by its directors Sarah Appleton and Jasper Sharp to discuss all things J-Horror and the Fatal Frame / Project Zero film! They look at the origins and legacy of J-Horror, and the impact of Ring and its US remake, plus Dreamcast oddity The Ring: Terror's Realm. Then, it's time to grab a Camera Obscura for an adaptation of a spin-off novel based on the ghost-snapping game series. A Catholic girls school is swept up in strange disapperances and spooky apparitions, with the haunting photograph of one of its students central to the mystery. But did Fatal Frame capture their attention? This podcast contains SPOILERS for Fatal Frame (2014), from 57:30.

Few films have garnered the rabid, cult following over the years is a sight to behold. Giant cats. Talking houses. Heads coming out of wells. The images might be familiar, but the story behind the film is less so. The debut feature from experimental filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi was done in collaboration with his 10-year-old daughter. Season 6, titled Haunted Homes, explores how haunted house movies have mirrored our relationship with our homes. Each episode visits a horror movie that changed the way we imagine a haunted house, from the crumbling Gothic mansions to white picket fences, what it says about the people who live in the houses and what scares them the most.

Diese Dokumentation von Sarah Appleton und Jasper Sharp hatte ich mir im Programm von Nippon Connection 2024 ausgesucht, weil ich mich kaum mit J-Horror auskenne. Für mich bestand J-Horror aus langen schwarzen Haaren und weißbleicher Haut. Ich hatte Fragen und der Film hat viele beantwortet: Woher kommen die J-Horror-Filme? Mit welchen Filmen begann es? Was ist eigentlich ein J-Horror-Film und was nicht? Und welche Wirkung hatten diese Filme? Was erschreckt die Japaner und was erschreckt die Amerikaner?Fast alle wichtigen Regisseure des klassischen J-Horrors kommen zu Wort, Ausschnitte aus kaum zugänglichen Filmen wurden gezeigt. Ein enormer Rechercheaufwand muss in J-HORROR-VIRUS stecken. Für die Hardcore-Fans des Genres ist vielleicht nicht viel Neues dabei, für alle anderen gibt es eine Menge Augenöffner und eine solide filmgeschichtliche Einordnung. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film im Frankfurter Regen habe ich Daniel vom Filmpodcast Altstadtkino am Mikrofon. Wir reden über unvollendete Menschen, über Vorläufer in den 1950er Jahren und viel über CURE von Kiyoshi Kurosawa (obwohl dieser Film gar kein J-Horror im engeren Sinne ist).

Christian Zyp interviews Sarah Appleton and Jasper Sharp (co-directors) about their documentary THE J-HORROR VIRUS. It screens as part of CUFF.Docs Sat Nov 25th @ 9:30 pm at the Globe Cinema in Calgary.THE J-HORROR VIRUS charts the origins, evolution and diffusion across the world of a distinctive brand of made-in-Japan supernatural chillers featuring vengeful ghosts manifesting themselves through contemporary technology against a backdrop of urban alienation and social decay. From its origins in Teruyoshi Ishii's fake documentary PSYCHIC VISION: JAGANREI (1988) and Norio Tsuruta's seminal SCARY TRUE STORIES (1991/92) straight-to-video series, through such key titles as Hideo Nakata's RING (1998), Kiyoshi Kurosawa's PULSE (2001) and Takashi Shimizu's JU-ON: THE GRUDGE (2002), critics and the filmmakers reflect on how the bleak dystopic visions and unsettling atmospheres that made these works so unique infiltrated their way across the world.

Welcome to GIVE ME THE FEAR - the Britflicks Podcast, Frightfest 2023 preview series. Hosted by screenwriter Stuart Wright, these brief, spoiler free interviews will – across the entire series – help you to discover the kind of knowledge and experience about how to make indie horror films that they don't teach at film school.

I think you going to love the answers this question elicits.

Who can you trust? That's the question posed in Rashōmon. In today's programme Rana Mitter's guests David Peace, Natasha Pulley, Yuna Tasaka and Jasper Sharp look at both the book and the film. Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's short story 'In a Grove', published in 1922, became the basis for the 1950 film from Akira Kurosawa 'Rashōmon', one of the first Japanese films to gain worldwide critical acclaim. 'The Rashōmon Effect' has become a byword for the literary technique where the same event is presented via the different and incompatible testimonies from the characters involved. David Peace's book 'Patient X' is a novelised response to Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's last years and his death by suicide at the age of 35. Natasha Pulley is a novelist and Japanophile with a particular interest in Japanese literature of the 1920s, and in the unreliable narrator implied by use of the Rashōmon Effect. Jasper Sharp is a writer and curator, author of the Historical Dictionary of Japanese Cinema. Yuna Tasaka is one of the contributors to The Japanese Cinema Book published by Bloomsbury. David Peace's third novel in his Tokyo trilogy Tokyo Redux is out this summer. Natasha Pulley's most recent novel is a time travel story set in Napoleonic times - The Kingdoms. Her book The Watchmaker of Filigree Street became an international best seller. Producer: Luke Mulhall.

Several years ago, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria began inviting artists to sift through the museum’s more than 4 million objects and create exhibitions filtered through the artist’s own unique point of view. Recently, the museum asked Wes Anderson, the Oscar-nominated director of “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and “The Royal Tenenbaums”, and his partner, acclaimed designer, writer, and illustrator, Juman Malouf, to take on the same gargantuan task. They ended up choosing 423 objects for the show. 350 had never before been publicly shown. We sat down for a transatlantic chat with Kunsthistorisches Museum curator, Jasper Sharp to talk about the show, how it came together, and much more.
