Episode 7 - Hong Kong Horror: The Eyes Have It
In this episode Val dips a toe into Asian horror, by taking a look at The Pang Brother's 2002 film, "The Eye" from Hong Kong.
We'll talk about that first wave of J-Horror that took Hollywood by storm in the late 90's/early 2000's. How it led to an upsurge of interest in Asian horror generally, and how "The Eye" differs from the "Ring" and "Ju-On" franchises.
There will be a discussion on the effective sound design of "The Eye" and how it is SO NOT conducive to eating chocolate, unless one wishes to choke on a Malteser.
This episode will also feature another Pets in Peril Alert and a special surprise guest appearance from Vincent Price the Cat.
Finally, we'll take a look at "The Eye 2" which is a very different tale about a pregnant woman pursued by spirits.
