A Haunted School: Girl's Trembling

Having lost her mother a few months prior, Yura Michiru, now completely alone in the world, was taken in by her mother's sister, the Saegusa family. There, she met her kind cousin, Mika, who attended the same high school. The three of them—Michiru, Mika, and Miya's boyfriend, Shingo Kawai—quickly became close friends.

Mika began to suspect the relationship between Michiru and Shingo, and started to treat Michiru harshly, as if possessed by something...

Directed by Toshiki Satō, A Haunted School: Girl's Trembling leans on a strong ensemble — Saori Sekino, Tsugumi, Yosuke Kubozuka — 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 1997.
