The Heisei era has come to an end, and as we welcome Reiwa, many are reflecting on the good and bad that came with the last 30-odd years. Goo rankings recently asked their readers which horror movies they found the most terrifying of the Heisei era, and here is how they voted:
10. Kuroyuri Danchi (The Complex) (2013) [30 votes] x
8. Kodomo Tsukai (Innocent Curse) (2017) [32 votes] x
8. Zan’e -Sunde wa Ikenai Heya- (The Inerasable) (2015) [32 votes] x

Again, no real surprises there, I think. Pretty much dominated by Sadako and Kayako, who really did sum up Japanese horror of the Heisei era. I’m looking forward to what new terrors Reiwa will now bring!
