I guess Naoto Takenaka is taking the Koki Mitani approach to trailer production this time around: donning a tux to introduce his upcoming horror comedy, Yamagata Scream. The story centers around two Tokyo high school seniors who are forced to join a historical research club to fulfill a graduation requirement. Their teacher, Mr. Kachi, plans a mandatory club trip to a small village in Yamagata prefecture to study remnants of an ancient clan of warriors called the ochimusha. When they arrive, the local villagers hold a special ceremony and construct a “super shrine”. As a result, an 800-year seal is broken, unleashing a curse that causes the ochimusha to rise from their graves.
