Scary Japanese Horror Movies BANNED In Many Countries!

March 5, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvel Videos with a selection of scary Japanese horror movies that found themselves banned in many countries…

We all knows that movies are fake in the sense that the events happening on screen aren’t really occurring, but that doesn’t make them any less visceral. Special effects, sharp direction, and solid artistic value elevate concepts into memorable moments, and that is especially true of the horror genre. The things happening to the actors are not real, however we can’t help but feel something in our guts due to our minds being tricked.

Well, sometimes those attributes go too far. Sometimes you get a horror film that is so grotesque in its production or visuals that it affects audiences in a significant way. In the case of Japan, their terrifying features, dubbed “Japanese horror” or “J-horror,” have gotten so out of hand that 10 of them were even banned in several countries! To find out which ones, check out Marvelous Videos’ take here…
