Yamagata Scream (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version)

Product Description

Japans most prolific character actor Takenaka Naoto returns to the directors chair for the madcap horror comedy Yamagata Scream. While Takenakas last directorial effort Sayonara Blue was a sensitive drama about romance & mortality, Yamagata Scream is a completely off-the-wall effort complete with fish-out-of-water samurai ghosts, village of zombies, & nonstop gags & parodies. Teen actress Narumi Riko ( How to Become Myself) is game for both screams & laughs as the hapless heroine of this wacky shriek fest. Yamagata Scream co-stars veteran Iwamatsu Ryo, Maiko ( Yama no Anata
- Tokuichi no Koi), EXILEs Akira ( Be Sure to Share), R&B singer Crystal Kay, Haru ( Koizora), & Takenaka himself in a characteristically hilarious performance.

Schoolgirl Mikayo (Narumi Riko) is traveling to a village in Yamagata with her teacher (Maiko) & classmates to learn more about a historical event that occurred there 800 years ago. As the legend goes, defeated samurai Tsuzuranuki (Sawamura Ikki, Kafu wo Machiwabite) fled to the village with his lover (Narumi Riko) & retainer (Takenaka Naoto), only to get tortured & killed by the villagers. The village is supposedly cursed, but Mikayo couldnt care less as she has more pressing adolescent headaches to deal with. When the mayor (Namase Katsuhisa) knocks down the village monument commemorating Tsuzuranuki, however, he unwittingly releases the vengeful warrior spirits of yesteryear. With ghosts running amuck turning villagers into zombies, can Mikayo get out of Yamagata alive?
