" Japanese Horror Cinema and Deleuze challenges conventional film analysis by exploring the genre's affective elements. Clear and engaging, this work is an important contribution to the discipline of cinema studies and is a must for students of film and philosophy." -- Jay McRoy, Professor of English, University of Wisconsin - Parkside, USA "This book provides an important intervention into the scholarship on Japanese horror by avoiding a well-worn hermeneutic approach to cinematic analysis, examining, instead, the many interconnections that develop between the bodies of audience members, films, and nations as cinematic works are created and viewed worldwide. In so doing, this study brings a fresh perspective to some of the iconic works of the genre." -- Marc Yamada, Associate Professor, Comparative Arts & Letters, Brigham Young University, USA.
