On the set of a dark war time drama at an old movie studio, a young director, Toshio Murai, is trying to complete his debut film. The two starring actresses, Hitomi Kurokawa and Saori Murakami, play sisters in his film. Murai has a crush on Hitomi, the seasoned leading actress, and keeps a photo of her by his bed.

Viewing Notes

Saw this way back when like ‘99 when TCM (I think) ran a J-horror series. Was really taken with this movie that later on I could find on home video. So happy that Shudder has it now.

Noted that I’ve logged this previously but I don’t believe that date is correct (2002) since I watched other J-horror around that same time that are not logged. I’ll leave it since I don’t have an accurate record to refer to.
