Hiroshi TAKAHASHI
Occult Bolshevism
霊的ボリシェヴィキ
Nippon Cinema ª
A seance in an abandoned factory is the backdrop for this little horror gem helmed by THE RING scriptwriter Hiroshi TAKAHASHI. Their reasons for making contact with the realm of the dead are, at first, obscure, and only little by little do we learn about the malicious intents of the initiators. After years of boring and repetitive J-horror fare, here comes a fresh take on the much beloved sub-genre.
