In the Meiji at 150 Student Podcast, UBC students discuss aspects of Japanese culture they research in class. In this episode, a student directs our attention to the horror movie genre in Japan, especially the films of director Miike Takashi. We discuss differences in the horror genre in Japan and North America, the moral "lessons" of horror films, and ways the horror genre reflects issues in contemporary society.
