Haruka Yamano returns from America to Tokyo in a wheelchair, both legs having multiple fractures from a car accident. She is helped by her brother Koichi and their father. Their father travels to Singapore for business meetings and Koichi takes care of his sister and films her most of the time with his camera. The next morning, Haruka tells that her wheelchair has moved during the night and Koichi check the windows of her room to see if a stranger has broken in their house. He tells that probably a spirit had moved the wheelchair and he uses salt near the door of Haruka's bedroom to protect her against evil spirits. However, the next morning they find that the salt is spread near the door. He checks the tape and believes that the house is haunted by a ghost. He decides to tape his room too and during the days, weird noises and events happen in the house. They invite priest Saionji to purify the house against ghosts and over four days nothing unusual happens. Haruka tells to Koichi that, in America, she had hit a woman called Katie that had just murdered her boyfriend and appeared in front of her car. Their father returns home but he needs to travel again. But on the fifth night they see in the tape that the house is still haunted. Koichi decides to call Saionji again, but they learn that the priest had died five nights ago after leaving their house. Haruka discloses to her brother that weird things had happened to her also in America. Furthermore, she tells that she had researched the life of Katie and had found that the girl was also haunted by ghosts. Now the fiend is more violent and still haunts the siblings and they do not know what to do.

on the map as a serious player in the horror film

Gross out metal based hijinks from Japanese cult film
director Shinya Tsukomoto. Tetsuo: Iron Man is a firm
J-Horror fan favourite which has been simultaneously
disgusting and bewildering viewers for over 20 years.

rod in it. When the wound goes maggoty, he freaks out
and runs out of his abode only to be knocked down by
a Japanese businessman and his girlfriend. They dump
Metal Fetishist in a ravine but Metal Fetishist is intent
on wreaking revenge by forcing the businessman to

Dolls! Scary killer dolls! Argh!
I do not like dollies or mannequins coming to life. It
really scares the bejaysus out of me. Which is fantastic
fun when it comes to watching horror films. This is
definitely the best scary dolls movie I have ever
watched.
The basis of the plot was quite confusing. There is
something about during the Japanese occupation of
South Korea, a doll maker falls in love with a woman in
a red kimono and makes a huge life size doll in tribute
to her. The woman falls in love with him too. When she
is found murdered, the doll maker is blamed and killed.
The doll sits by his grave,...

I have included Three Extremes because it is a nifty
cross-Asia Portmanteau film featuring three films from
different countries in Asia – Dumplings, directed by
Fruit Chan (Hong Kong), Cut, directed by Park Chan-
Wook (S Korea) and Box, directed by Takashi Miike
(Japan).
In Dumplings, an actress is terrified that she is getting
old and losing her looks. She goes for a cure to a
woman who cooks her dumplings which contain a
remarkable rejuvenation ingredient. The ingredient is
sinister but the actress will do anything to retain her
youth.
In Cut, a psychotic extra from a film set holds the
director and...

Lee Geum-ja served a lengthy prison sentence for the
murder of a young school boy Won-mo. the case is a
national sensation due to the lurid nature of the murder

prison inmates for food, shelter and weapons. She also

her kindly image she tarts...
