Outline: Discover how a single 'Big in Japan' videotape altered the trajectory of international horror history in this thought-provoking documentary. It maps the journey of a unique style of Japanese spectral thrillers marked by revengeful apparitions expressing themselves through modern technology, set against a stage of metropolitan estrangement and societal degradation. Beginning with PSYCHIC VISION: JAGANREI (1988) and direct-to-video SCARY TRUE STORIES, this documentary then transitions to crucial films like RING (1998), PULSE (2001), and THE GRUDGE (2002). Critics and filmmakers explore how these somber dystopian depictions and disquieting atmospheres penetrated the global horror psyche.

Outline: TRANSMISSION stands as the world's inaugural horror film uniquely expressed through the lens of channel surfing. As viewers flicker between disparate television channels, they gradually unearth the startling truth that each channel is seamlessly interweaving pieces of the same terrifying tale.
This ground-breaking concept emerges from the imaginative mind of Michael J. Hurst, renowned for directing hits like "House of the Dead 2", "Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud", "Paradox", and the acclaimed TV series 'Femme Fatales'. Straying from his usual path, Hurst ventures into a darker, more enigmatic realm of cinema. The film is peppered with enjoyable cameos, intertwined with bold strokes of science fiction, riveting horror homages, and visually captivating special effects.
