Japan's Dark Obsession: Yami Festival Brings Horror to the Fore The streets of Shibuya, Tokyo will be awash with darkness this November as the inaugural Yami International Film Festival makes its debut.
The brainchild of Japan based horror entertainment company Yami Inc. , this festival promises to tap into a rich cultural vein that has been quietly influencing global cinema.
Horror is not typically associated with Japanese cinema, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find a fascinating subculture that has been brewing for decades.
