10 Scariest Horror Movies Based on Japanese Legends

"It's no secret that the Japanese do horror brilliantly, and many western films are adaptations of their petrifying Japanese counterparts. Ghost stories are an ancient tradition in Japan, and these urban legends take cinematic form quite often, resulting in some Japanese movies too scary to watch alone. Some of these movies draw direct inspiration from supernatural legends, while others use them as base material to build a more compelling and terrifying tale around them. With the presence of ghosts known as yūrei, demons called yōkai, and disturbed female spirits called onryō, these films are a rollercoaster ride of chills and myths."
