Does anybody know of any themes more common in Japanese horror movies?

There is a LOT about spirits coming back, for revenge..
Not JUST Ju-On (The Grudge) and Ringu (The ring).. Whispering Corridors, Memento Mori, The Ghost, Witchboard (Ouija Board: Bunshinsaba), Reincarnation,Tale of Two sisters is even more complicated.. there IS the spirit haunting, but there is also mental disorder which makes it worse..
But, a lot of the movies deal with REVENGE if you want the full answer.. Old Boy, lady Vengence, Audition, Tomie (she's a demon, but her motive is revenge. Cinderella..
