Episode 69: Spinster's Choice - Kōji Shiraishi ~ Occult (2009) & A Record of Sweet Murder (2014)

In this episode of SPINSTERS CHOICE, one of us selects a movie we're passionate about. This time, it's Jessica's turn, and naturally, she is taking us back to Japan. Japanese horror, especially J-Horror, is captivating, and combine it with found footage, and you have a Koji Shiraishi film—the director we have decided to spotlight for this Spinster’s Choice. We'll be focusing on two lesser-known films, Occult (2009) and A Record of Sweet Murder (2014). We'll revisit the essence of Japanese horror and the J-horror movement, discuss Koji Shiraishi’s influence and impact on the genre, and explore why Japan has so many cults. Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…Intro/Outro Music: Kiss of the Creature by Dance with the DeadArtwork by: Jess HrycykEditing work by: JessicaFOLLOW US ON:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/spinstersofhorrorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/spinstersofhorror/Threads:https://www.threads.net/@spinstersofhorrorTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!BRUTALITEAS
