I love horror.
Not sick horror like the Saw movies. That’s not horror; that’s torture porn. But Stephen King novels are great. Japanese horror movies are great. Horror survival games are great.
Chinese are not too fond of them, though. My students don’t watch them and there are not too many Chinese horror movies around.
There aren’t that many Chinese science fiction movies either, for that matter. Historical dramas? Sure. War movies? Oh yeah.
Every culture is obsessed with peculiar things. Americans love conspiracies and end-of-the-world stories. Japanese seem to go for brute violence. Chinese seem focused on their golden past and their country’s fighting prowess.
