So, this documentary, Why So Serious?, dives into the mind of Koji Shiraishi, the guy behind Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman. It’s quite a shift from your typical horror discussions. The atmosphere feels raw, almost like you’re sitting in on a private chat. Shiraishi shares his thoughts on blending folklore and modern horror—a theme that really resonates throughout his work. The pacing is relaxed, allowing those little insights to breathe. You get a real sense of how practical effects shape his vision, which is refreshing in a world so reliant on CGI. It’s distinctive, not just for its subject but for how it approaches the genre through a cultural lens. Quite a fascinating watch for collectors who appreciate the deeper layers of horror filmmaking.
