Ziemia – woda – dom. Miejsca w azjatyckich filmach grozy

Abstract

There are often spaces in the Asian horror movies. The purpose of this article is to look at three of them – the land, house and water, which occur more frequently and tend to be the most interesting. It can be associated with the assumptions of religion, which demonstrates the coexistence worlds terrestrial and extraterrestrial and geographical conditions, as in the case of the water (Shutter, Dark Water, Black Night). House is associated with the motif of revenge – there are places like elevator (Alone) and wardrobe (A Tale of Two Sisters). Some movies are also placed in the urban landscape: the blocks of flats (Forbidden Floor), spacious apartments (Ju-on), in the school corridors (Whispering Corridors), bus station (Suicide Club). Due to the existence of such places in the Asian horror, audience has the opportunity to explore knowledge of human nature, but also the culture and religion of Asians.
