Talk of a J-horror renaissance is overstated, but the past few years have brought a number of films offering novel approaches to the genre, with nary a vengeful wraith in sight. Ryota Kondo’s “Missing Child Videotape” (2025), Yuta Shimotsu’s “Best Wishes to All” (2024) and Keishi Kondo’s “New Religion” (2022) are a few notable examples of the new breed of Japanese horror: smart, stylistically assured and — to be honest — not especially scary.
