Synopsis
Horror anthology featuring three tales: A man reads his own obituary and wonders if he's a ghost; a blind woman is terrorized over the phone; a housewife gets stuck in another dimension.
Taking its title from an archaic Japanese word meaning "ghost story," this anthology adapts four folk tales. A penniless samurai marries for money with tragic results. A man stranded in a blizzard is saved by Yuki the Snow Maiden, but his rescue comes at a cost. Blind musician Hoichi is forced to perform for an audience of ghosts. An author relates the story of a samurai who sees another warrior's reflection in his teacup.
A series of down-on-their-luck individuals enter the decrepit and spine-chilling Rialto theater, only to have their deepest and darkest fears brought to life on the silver screen by The Projectionist – a mysterious, ghostly figure who holds the nightmarish futures of all who attend his screenings.
Henry is good, Henry is bad, but when it comes to footage that he finds, the end result is horrendous. Where does he find these tapes? Why does he keep making them? Why does he keep uploading them? Will the right authorities ever figure out what is going on? These questions will be asked because once you go LIVE, the followers will THRIVE.
The first segment features an animated mummy stalking selected student victims; the second tale tells the story of a "cat from hell" who cannot be killed and leaves a trail of victims behind it; the third story is about a man who witnesses a bizarre killing and promises never to tell what he saw and the "in-between" bit is the story of a woman preparing to cook her newspaper boy for supper.
