In contemporary Japanese horror films, a dominant feature is haunted houses and the break-up of nuclear families.[13] Additionally, monstrous mothers become a major theme, not just in films but in Japanese horror novels as well.[13][14] Kiyoshi Kurosawa's film Sweet Home (1989) provides the basis for the contemporary haunted house film and also served as an inspiration to the Resident Evil games.[13] Japanese culture has seen increased focus on family life, where loyalty to superiors has been de-emphasized.[13] From this, any act of dissolving a family was seen as horrifying, making it a topic of particular interest in Japanese horror media.[13]
