                              horror film, as a persistently viable artistic tradition, may very well touch
                              upon  fears  that  run  ‘deeper’  than  most  socio-historical  analyses  can
                              excavate.  Japanese  horror  film  may  also  provide  a  barometer  for
                              emerging cultural climates.
