The Appeal of Nippon.

I’ve started watching a Japanese horror film about a man whose internal organs are disintegrating and going slurp, slurp, rumble, rumble, splosh in the process. After 40 minutes running time we haven’t actually seen him yet, but several doctors who have peered at him through the screen have stood back with that look in their eyes which only the Japanese can do, and said:

He smiled at me!

Now can you understand why I’m so enamoured of Japanese horror films? Who else would make such a one as that? And it wouldn't surprise me if they used Smell-O-Vision in Japanese screenings.
