I think the japanese ghost film is so much like the italian giallo films its crazy ... only the japanese being supernatural where the italians - its a slasher ..

they are both presented as mysteries .. it has to be solved before there is closure.
It's always traced back to somethingt the lead character - potential victim was involved in ..

the japanese substituted shocks for the italian gore but they still follow a lot of the same 'rules'
