Do U think a none Popular folkloric monster can make a hollywood horror hit?  email this discussion to a friend?

Do you think a monster or creature from a foreign folklore can be popularized in a Hollywood movie. There were many folkloric spirits and monsters from different cultures, that is not popular and very unknown in American culture, Do you think a director can somehow use introduce a monster that is not familiar to Americans in a Hollywood movie? I mean they can be something new to offer. I mean the Japanese movie " the Grudge was able to introduce the folkloric spirit known as "onryo" to the world.

They might add or introduce the said monster to a certain scary movie but as for the folkloric monster itself as the main thing within the movie perhaps its going to be a lil bit difficult. But hey we will never know just like what happened with the grudge, it is possible but the possibility is slim ;)

I think producers should explore different folklores now because most Hollywood horror movies were stuck Vampires,killers,zombies,werewolves and ghost.They should offer something new.

hello albert,

why not. as long as there's a good publicity for the movie, good casting, good story, good production, nice visual effects...hmmm everything will be possible. just give it a try.
usually if the film is from hollywood, it catches attention and gives curiosity to people so i guess it will be possible... who knows.

Godzilla and Sadako were both Japanese stuff and they were hits in Hollywood but you know there other countries out there aside from Japan,

really? sadako is a japanese stuff? hehe all along i thought its korean...hehe

Well Koreans have very complicated names, They dont really use much 1 word names. I think we Filipinos didnt get familiar with Korean names because the names of the characters from their dramas were replaced by western names in our country, I know Sadako is a Japanese name because of the simple spelling.
