Honto Ni Atta Kowai Hanashi Natsu Hen 2015

For this 16th Anniversary Special, Inagaki Goro is our host once again for 6 spooky tales based on tales from real people and performed here by an all-star cast. A young man who returns to his family's home after leaving Tokyo finds something else may have followed after him; a young girl dreams of darkness and a small shrine that draws ever closer; a woman with a failed business makes a go at it with a company with a bizarre dormitory, one with a past secret; a police officer receives a call from what appears to be a dead woman who wants his help; a woman taking documents to a food company finds time slipping away without her noticing; a single man who runs a restaurant sees an unusual family living down the hallway from him.

Directed by Norio Tsuruta, Honto Ni Atta Kowai Hanashi Natsu Hen 2015 leans on a strong ensemble — Yuta Tamamori, Mitsuki Tanimura, Ayami Nakajo — 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 horror titles of 2015.
