In the first of a trio of this 2007 Japanese release, Rattle Rattle really rocks. Kanako is literally knocked out when she collides with another force while walking home. Upon awakening she is visited from a little girl, who vanishes as quickly as she appeared. After Kanako returns home she receives a call from her fi'ance, Akira, who warns her that his he was just visited from his ex-wife, who attacked him with a knife. Shortly afterwards, a lady in red, with long, flowing black hair fiercely begins chasing Kanako. This is where the the special effects, including some C.G.E.s comes in. It rates a 2+ on the gore score.
The second short story, Hagane, is without doubt one of the strangest films I've seen. Sekiguchi's boss asks him to take his sister on a date, even provides him with a car and her photo isn't too bad. After meeting her he realizes, she's really something else, at least from the waist up. Some of the scenes are actually a bit comical (in a twisted way). It's maybe a 1 on the gore score, but the plot, it is just different.
Inheritance begins with Saeko, a divorced Mom who has moved back home to live with and take care of her ailing Mom. When Saeko's son Michio confides in her that he had seen a boy around the house, she initially doesn't take him serously. Later, she finds herself in the tool shed when she has some flashbacks of her childhood and a brother, Masahiko, who went missing and has yet to be found. This is where things become strange, not to mention how her own relationship with her son changes. I rated this 1 on the gore score, sorry Fright Fans, just not enough blood for me. Language translation was good on all short stories.
