Summary

An anthology of three horror short movies including:

Kata-kata (Rattle Rattle)
Director: Amemiya Keita

One day, Kanako hears a rattling sound in front of a building while walking home. The moment she looks up, something hits her hard. She loses consciousness for a while. When she wakes up and finds that she's unhurt, she then continues her way home. As soon as she arrives, she starts seeing a deformed woman who begins to haunt her.



Cast
Nakakoshi Noriko - Yoshizawa Kanako
Toyohara Kousuke - Tasaki Akira
Kobayashi Yuuko - Katakata



My review
Although the storyline is not new, but the reason why the lady was targeted is unclear. Did she had provoked the unknown by chance? However, the effect of the film was good, at least I did not get to see another Sadako-lookalike or Ju-on wannabe type.


Hagane (Steel)
Director: Suzuki Takuji

Sekiguchi is a young car mechanic leading an unexciting life. That all changes when one day his boss asks him to take his attractive sister on a drive. To Sekiguchi‘s surprise, his hot date is covered from head to waist by a sack.


Cast
Emoto Tasuku - Sekiguchi Mikio
Kagawa Teruyuki - Takahashi Tetsu
Nahana - Takahashi Hagane



My Review
Personally, if I were him, I think most probably I would not even dare to go out with the girl. Although have to give in to his boss (the girl's brother), but after the first date, seeing the person in such an outfit, and not a word throughout their "date" + the things she did = weird, I would never asked her out again unless you are trying to say the weird appeals. Back to the filming and casting, the actors are not bad and so is the legs of the girl. But the entire film I think I only see less than 10 people in the film, but I think it's easier that way since it would be difficult not to have people staring at the girl with her "nice" outfit.

 Uketsugu mono (Successor)
Directors: Toyoshima Keisuke / Shimizu Takashi

Divorcee Saeko decides to leave the city with her 7-year-old son Michio to live with her bedridden mother. One day, Michio sees his mother staring at a wooden chest in a shed. From then on, Saeko’s behaviour becomes more and more strange.

Cast

In a large bowl, simply mixed almond, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds (ingredient a-c) and stir in florentine powder a tablespoon at a time for easier mixing. 2. Spread onto the air fryer baking tray. (Note: to line the baking tray with baking paper) 3. Set air fryer temperature to 160C and timer set to 12 minutes 4. Keep tabs on the almond florentine, once turn brown, it's time to re...
