Tales of Terror From Tokyo and All Over Japan: Volume 1 Directors: Takashi Shimizu (grudge, marebito, reincarnation) Norio Tsuruta (premonition, ring 0) Year of Release: 2003 Stars: Mei Kurokawa Run Time: 75 minutes DVD Studio: Tokyo Shock Score:6/10 Review of the 2003 collection of short five minute horror stories from a variety of directors. These stories tend to focus on the traditional Japanese ghost elements as made popular in Ringu and Ju-on, so fans of those films might find these worth checking out. Some stories are also funny, and some are just strange. Overall, an interesting experiment in what makes a scary story effective or not.
