“High Score Girl” was made into an anime and became a big hit as a game x romantic comedy (currently, the sequel “High Score Girl DASH” is being serialized in Monthly Big Gangan), and it was made into a live-action movie and became a hot topic as a traumatic suspense drama. Mr. Oshikiri, the original author of “Misumisou,” which he called “Sayuri,” has said that “Sayuri” is his “favorite” of all his works. The story is about a family who, as soon as they move into their dream home, are attacked by a series of mysterious phenomena.

In the center of the teaser visual, the word “Sayuri”, which is both the title of the movie and the source of the curse that causes the Kamiki family to experience unimaginable fear, catches the eye, and at the bottom there is a hazy figure of a girl who seems to be Sayuri Haruki. . The visual conveys Sayuri’s strong grudge, saying, “Everyone should die.”

The director is Koji Shiraishi, known for the blockbuster horror film “Sadako vs. Kayako” (2016) and the suspense thriller “Fukuhan” (2017) starring Tori Matsuzaka. He has worked on many horror films in various genres, including ghosts, curses, the occult, and mockumentary, making him truly a “film director who knows everything about horror.”

The newly released special report depicts the horror surrounding the “Kamiki family” that appears in this work before it can even be released. One night, the TV in the room turns on, and along with the noise from the screen, a strange phenomenon begins: a woman’s laughter echoes from somewhere. The film depicts mysterious situations that occur in this house, including a father who suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night, a grandfather who continues to mindlessly dig in the garden, a mother who covers her mouth when she sees something, and a grandmother who shows an eerie smile.

The main character of this work, Norio, feels uncomfortable in this “home”. The look on his face that makes him suspicious of this “house” is exactly the same as the “bad feeling” we have when watching this video.

And after the words “There is something” in this house, what appeared… Her hand slowly reached out from the other side of the door, her long black hair, and before I knew it, the woman’s laughter that I had been hearing until just now had changed into the eerie voice of a young girl. Is the girl’s true identity “Sayuri”, the root of the mysterious phenomenon?

The main character of the story, Norio, the eldest son of the Kamiki family and a third-year junior high school student, will be played by Ryoyoshi Minamide, making his first leading role in a movie. Zen Kajiwara will play the role of Akio, the father who is the breadwinner of the Kamiki family, Fusako Urabe will play the role of Masako, the mother who cheerfully supports the family, Sou Morita will play Keiko, the eldest daughter who is Norio’s older sister and is in love with her younger brother, and the second son who adores his older brother Norio.・The role of Shun will be played by Reio Inomata.

Kitaro will play the role of Shozo, the grandfather who has come to live with the Kamiki family after they moved, and Kie Negishi will play the role of Harue, the grandmother who has dementia and needs to be cared for by her family.
