Numa ilha do sul, Tomohiko Kataoka, um programador, trabalha
no desenvolvimento da tecnologia da realidade virtual e da neurociência.
Num portal vermelho descobre barulhos que tomam
a forma de uma pessoa no mundo virtual. Assim, fica ligada a esta
realidade e também a um espírito vingativo, Imajo, que amaldiçoa
a ilha e mata as pessoas numa série de mortes violentas por afogamento.
Mais uma ideia original do mestre do horror japonês, realizador
de “The Grudge e “Suicide Forest Village”, vencedor
do Fantasporto em 2021.
Nasceu em 1972 no Japão. Realizador e argumentista, é
conhecido por “Ju On: The Grudge” (2002), “The Grudge”
(2004) e “The Grudge 2” (2006). Foi o primeiro japonês a
chegar a Nº 1 da bilheteira nos Estados Unidos com “Ju-on/The
Grudge”, a que se seguiu o êxito da trilogia “Village” que o
Fantasporto já apresentou. Foi o vencedor do Prémio de Melhor
Filme Fantástico no Fantasporto 2021 com “Suicide Forest
Village” (2021).
In a little southern island, Tomohiko, a researcher, works on research
development in virtual reality technology and neuroscience. Then he
finds a strange red gate and noises in the shape of a person from data
records of the virtual reality world. That leads the island to be connected
to the other world and Imajo, a vengeful ghost that curses the
island, comes after and dooms with violent drowning deaths. Another
very original story coming from the Japanese master of horror who
directed “The Grudge and “Suicide Forest Village”, winner of Fantasporto
in 2021.
He was born in 1972 in Japan. He is a director and writer, known for
“Ju On: The Grudge” (2002), “The Grudge” (2004) and “The
Grudge 2” (2006). He is the first-ever Japanese director who
recorded No.1 US box office hit with “Ju-on/The Grudge”, followed
by the hits of the trilogy “Village” which Fantasporto has already
screened. He won the Best Fantasy Film Award in Fantasporto 2021
with “Suicide Forest Village” (2021).
