About Manatsu Girl
The Special is loosely inspired by horror classics of the time, such as "Carry" and "Fury." The story is about a little girl who has nightmares and a series of murders in the area, which in a strange way, are related to them.
Directed by Akio Yoshida, Manatsu Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Noriko Ogawa, Mieko Harada, Yuji Miyake — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1987.
