Yûki Itô

The Japanese maestro of mystery and horror, Yûki Itô, was born in 1965 in Tokyo, Japan. Known for his active years spanning from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, Itô primarily worked in the genres of psychological horror and mystery, making his mark with films like "Ju-on: The Grudge" and "Dark Water," which garnered him international acclaim and numerous awards in the horror film circuit. His authorial style is immersive and atmospheric, often focusing on the psychological aspects of horror, rather than the physical, and his films are characterized by their slow burn pacing and chilling climaxes. From the heart, Yûki Itô is an unsung hero, a master of horror whose ability to create fear through suggestion rather than spectacle is unrivaled.
