In the immense city of Tokyo, the darkness of the afterlife lures some of its inhabitants desperately trying to escape the sadness and isolation of the modern world.
Dir. Kiyoshi Kurosawa · With Kumiko Aso, Haruhiko Kato, Koyuki

as Noboru Matsuzaki
Legend holds that 30 years ago, a suburban town was terrorized by the spirit of a woman whose horrid face had been grotesquely disfigured. Roaming the streets wearing a long coat and carrying large scissors, the spirit would approach her young victims and, while removing the mask, ask if she was pretty. The victim’s response would almost always lead to their violent death.
Dir. Koji Shiraishi · With Eriko Sato, Haruhiko Kato, Chiharu Kawai
