Before Sadako crawled out of the well, before the Grudge took hold, before a missed call, sinister auditions, and leaking dark water? something was stirring in Japan: horror fans devoured straight-to-video releases, late-night television, and low-budget genre films that almost no-one outside the country had seen. This special collection gathers the films and documents that laid the groundwork for one of the most influential movements in cinema history. A culmination of years of effort, the centrepiece of this collection is 2023 feature documentary The J-Horror Virus, the work of frequent Imprint collaborators and Japanese cinema experts Sarah Appleton and Jasper Sharp. Making its worldwide Blu-ray debut in this set, the film charts the origins of J-Horror and incorporates interviews with filmmakers and experts, to create a truly definitive picture of this unique sub-genre. Alongside the documentary, dive into the disturbing films that defined J-Horror, scavenged from the highest quality possible sources available, all coming to Blu-ray for the first time worldwide: Jaganrei: Psychic Vision (1989) Scary True Stories: Ten Haunting Tales from the Japanese Underground (1991) A Haunted School (1996) Don't Look Up (1996) Kokkuri (1997) Alongside hours of brand NEW and exclusive Special Features, the set includes a 100-page Hardcover Booklet with brand NEW essays by Erica Shultz, Camille Zaurin, Tom Mes, Amber T, and Sarah Appleton, all housed in a Limited Edition 6-disc
