I have always believed that the deep-rooted part of Japanese culture is "color", whether it is popular since the Edo period The ukiyo-e of the novel, the "Sleeping Beauty" by Yasunari Kawabata, the modern Nobel Prize winner for literature, and even the mainstream awareness of "color as a career" in today's Japanese society do not implicitly reflect the inferiority of Japanese culture - "colorism" in addition to this In addition, the aesthetics of perverted violence is also widely figurative in the field of psychological horror films, such as "Midnight Bell" and "The Grudge" series has become a model that Asian horror films are competing to imitate. Strong production and visual impact, but the terrifying atmosphere rendered by the eerie and thrilling soundtrack and gloomy and dark scenes is deep enough to be deadly.

Many conscious behaviors spawned by perversion are becoming the creative theme of more and more filmmakers.
