That's why foreign movies are so different. Somebody with an entirely different brain conceived and executed the design.

Being a red-blooded American, I often find some foreign horror films boring. Why? I am from an impatient culture that expects things to happen the moment I lay my doubloons down. I often fail to overlay cultural-relativism while watching something like 'The Ring' (or others) in order to adjust to the pace or prevailing story.

I am a huge fan of Asian horror and subtitles which puts me in a tiny demographic. I much prefer foreign horror from Japan or South Korea.
