TAKASHI SHIMIZU

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).
