New trailer and poster art for ‘Shrill Cries of Summer’

Phantom Film released the poster art and a new trailer for the live-action adaptation of Shrill Cries of Summer (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) today. The movie, which will be released on May 10th, is a murder mystery based on a visual novel which was later adapted to a manga and anime series. In the story a boy named Keiichi (Goki Maeda) moves to the small village of Hinamizawa in 1983 and quickly fits in with his new peers. However, after the annual Watanagashi Festival some of his friends start to act weird and it’s revealed through conversations with a veteran police officer (Tetta Sugimoto) that every year around this time mysterious murders and disappearances occur. Judging from the characters involved the movie is most likely limited to the first visual novel, Onikakushi-hen.

Here is the original teaser followed by the full trailer:
