In his latest film, Shirome, Stardust Promotion’s relatively new pop idol unit Momoiro Clover star as a group of girls who enter an old abandoned school hoping to have their wishes granted by a spirit called Shirome. The girls initially had no clue they were being filmed for a movie at all. Instead, they were told that they were being filmed for an upcoming television show exploring haunted locations. The result is a faux documentary style in the same vein as “The Blair Witch Project” and “Paranormal Activity”.

Viewing Notes
Novel take on found footage / mockumentary spin with an all-girl group featured in a reality show to drum up their popularity. I like the idea but the execution could have been a lot better. The setup is good as is the finale but everything in-between falls flat. It’s like B-roll they used to fill out the middle. Would like to see a similar concept in the hands of a better director. Also, there is a stinger after the credits which is too little too late.
