Swan's Japanese Horror Reviews 50: THE BEST AND WORST OF J-HORROR

So we have at last reached the milestone 50th installment of my japanese horror review series! In this mega episode, I begin by introducing three films that were key to getting me into the genre, and then I go over my personal top 5 worst and best j-horror films. I also hand out some additional honors and awards including:
Best Villian
Goriest Film
Best Appearance by Santa Claus
Worst Performance
Scariest Film

As with any best/worst of, these are just my humble opinions. I'm sure everyone on here is going to have a totally different list, but life would be no fun if we all thought the same right? I encourage you to write in the comments and let me know your own best/worst films!

In closing, thanks so much for watching these videos over the past 2 years. These reviews have come a long way since the first review video on the ring. I've also grown into a much better looking guy, if I do say so myself. That's neither here nor there however hah. Hopefully these videos have inspired some of you to go out and buy these dvds and support the great region one companies such as Tokyoshock and Tartan Asia Extreme. Gotta support the companies bringing these over to get more on the way!

Thanks for watching everybody!

@WuschelofDespair Swan died from internal bleeding in his abdominal cavity caused by pancreatitis. If you go to his channel, you'll see his last video (which should be featured) was on Jan. 25th. He died 2 days later on the 27th. It is a huge shame that he died. I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away also.
