J-horror Inquirer article

[Jim Harper]

EVIL DEAD TRAP is for me the best early example of blending Japanese concepts with ideas from other horror traditions. You can also spot visual nods to US low-budget horror films like THE EVIL DEAD. Kazuo Komizu was doing a similar thing at the time, but with considerably less artistry.
   
  Yes, you're right, Todd Browning was American. Mental block there for a moment!

    With EVIL DEAD TRAP perhaps best representing this trend, with its
Argento-esque music and lighting and Cronenbergian imagery.
   
  Are you sure that Todd Browning is European? I always thought he was one of
the only American's who pioneered the genre at this time in America
