PLOT
A collection of Japanese short horror tales.
Five of Japan's best horror directors race to reach the outer limits of fear! Five horrifying episodes:
Would You Like To Hear a Scary Tale?
This is the story of the old lady on the bus freaking people out. She’s got the intro, the outro and a short interlude in the middle.
The Spiderwoman
This is better, apparently the town of Ibaraki is being stalked at night by the mysterious Spiderwoman. A newspaper reporter and a journalist go to investigate and the results and quite unnerving and simultaneously ludicrous, if that’s at all possible.
Crevices
Now you’re talking, this is easily the scariest story on the disc, no doubt due to the fact that this piece was lensed by Norio Tsuruta of Scary True Stories fame. A guy goes to visit his mate but finds the flat deserted. The landlord lets him in, only to discover that his mate has gone and taped up every single gap in his house (between carpets and walls, furniture and floor, windows, doors, you name it) with bright red masking tape. Why? What lives in these crevices? Oooh, creepy stuff, and raises the DVD's rating considerably.
The Sacrifice
As a child, Mayu saw he grandmother being eaten by big giant ghost head – no shit too, you see it in a flashback. Anyway, as a grown up, when she hears her mother is ill she returns home at once, only to find her mother chanting like a mad woman, pretty much like her grandmother did all those years ago.
Blonde Kwaidan
A Japanese guy goes to Hollywood and complains that all they make there are remakes of old films and J-Horror, then he goes to an apartment that he’s borrowed off a work colleague. It’s a shame he didn’t check under the bed for any dead blondes before he made himself comfortable though.
Presentiment
A credit card company guy steals a copy of the customer database in a daring late night raid under the security cameras gaze, and then heads off to try and meet his lover, ignoring his wife’s calls in the process. But it all goes wrong and soon he finds himself stuck in an elevator with 3 very creepy looking people who just keep smiling at him in a strange way. A decent ending actually.
