Horror Comparison: Japanese and Holliwood

No matter what type of female ghosts, no matter what is the story about, the female always plays a role of beautiful classical Japanese woman, but why they are so scary after death, I think it suggests the level of depression that Japanese woman is going through in their life. The other main female cast in the film, who is not a ghost, must have friends or relatives bothering by the ghost, or passed away, or even more the ghost threatens her own life, at this point, the female cast will start digging out the truth, surpassing the death etc. Also at the same time, a gentleman or a male friend will be with her all the time, helping and caring, but in the end, the man will given out his life or suffering from life.  The most important part of the American hour film, such as Hostel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, violent and blood always parallel with the progress of the story line.  For example, blood flow like flood, this scene can be the representation of blood and violent will always be the main theme of American horror film.   First of all, violent and blood can be devised into: 1, Series type murder; 2, the Corpse. Series type murder such as the Scream, Hostel, Final destination series, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre etc is just the continuous of it, audience can personally feel the pain and stimulation.  These films are not just unique in its timing, it also have similarities in the character plot. For example, the story is normally several people contact to go to a place, but on their way incident occurs, then they change the plan, but its always too late. Then, people lost or got murdered one after the other, at the end seeing their scary dead body, which leads to a question: who is the murder? I think among the large quantity of film in this style, the scene from the Final destination and Saw is most creative and unique. It is even more disgusting watching the scene in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in which they hang human bodies like pig, at the same time you can also see intestines coming out from the body.
