Gendai Kibunroku Kaii Monogatari
The horrid stories that remain in many conversations, the chilling urban legends come to life thanks to the Ga-nime. The terrible anecdote of an old fridge thrown by a dried up river bed in “Refrigerator”. The grotesque encounter with an out of place sculpture standing on top of a building in “The Dharma Statue”. The ghost encounter experience by a boy on a long bridge at night in “The Night Bridge” A purchase at the flea market that brings a man to an ironic end in “US Army Surplus” The enigma of continuous deadly accidents near a railroad in “The Railroad Crossing” The mysterious experience of a boy on summer vacation in a peaceful countryside in “I Want Friends”. 6 pieces of horror put on 1 film. The Japanese urban legends, put on screen in the characteristic drawing of KIMURA Toshiyuki, whose fame reaches outside the borders of Japan, call for a scream, with the talented collaboration for the ending theme of an artist produced by SUDOH Akira, Leilani.
