Nagisa Sugiura (Yuka) is a young Japanese actress who comes face to face with a slew of ghosts. These restless spirits begin to appear when she signs on to star in a horror film which tells the true story about a crazed, local professor whose murderous rampage at a hotel left 11 guests dead, including his young son and daughter. The movie is being filmed at the very site where the killings took place. —IMDb

Director

Takashi Shimizu

Japanese director Takashi Shimizu’s first experience in film was working part-time at a Kyoto movie theater, while writing scripts in his spare time. Several years of freelancing as an assistant director followed and in 1997 he enrolled at the Film School of Tokyo.

A short film project he did for school attracted the attention of director Kyoshi Kurosawa and screenwriter Hiroshi Takashi. They introduced him to producer Taka Ichise, who had been asked to produce a series of horror stories for a cell phone company. He asked the young director to give him some ideas of what might scare him and this process launched the beginning of the Ju-on horror movie series.

Four Japanese Ju-on movies later, Shimizu directed his first American-produced feature — The Grudge (2004), an English-language version of his hit film, Ju-on: The Grudge — starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as an American in Japan.

Shimizu won a Crystal Skull Award at Screamfest for Ju-on: The Grudge (2003). —tribute… read more

Meh! :P I expected more. Being Asian Horror Cinema and all... it didn't work for me... and AGAIN Sadako from "Ringu" appearing in a tiniest mode. The story is great, the screenplay has its "something" from time to time, the situations are extremely creepy... but I felt it, on the whole, slow, plain, a fake dream within a fake film, like trying to follow the construction of "Audition" but keeping the boring insight.
