East or West, who scares us best?


Asian directors are more willing to experiment and innovate in the horror genre.

DO Asians make scarier horror flicks than westerners? That claim has been going round a lot, especially in the past decade-and-a-half, a period that gave us Asian horror hits like Ringu, Ju-On, Dark Water, Shutter, A Tale Of Two Sisters, The Eye and their ilk; and there’s also Malaysia-born James Wan, whose fright fests The Conjuring and Insidious have been hailed as among the scariest efforts to have come out of Hollywood.
