{"product_id":"j-horror-rising-blu-ray","title":"J-Horror Rising (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVengeful ghosts returning from beyond the grave, young women with supernatural abilities, investigative narratives, a terror of technology, and an ominous aura of urban alienation and isolation mark the wave of horror and mystery films that emerged in Japan at the turn of the millennium, collectively labeled as \"J-Horror\". Remastered from the best available elements and packed with a host of new and archival extras, J-Horror Rising presents seven of the genre’s most distinctive titles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the ghostly pastoral horror of Shikoku, a young woman returns after many years to her rural birthplace, only to find her best friend from childhood has died by drowning when just sixteen. The dead girl’s mother, the local Shintoist priestess, has embarked on the region’s famous pilgrimage – but why is she walking backwards? The aftermath of the devasting Kobe Earthquake of 1995 creates fissures in the already fractured mind of a high-school girl in Isola: Multiple Personality Girl, allowing an unwelcome intruder to set up home in her head and leaving a volunteer worker with psychic powers to determine which of her personas is the fake one. Shikoku also provides the mystical backdrop to Inugami, as a teacher from Tokyo finds himself drawn to a local papermaker, only to find himself the subject of some hostility from her extended family, who have long ties to the region and are rumored to be the descendants of the guardians of ancient evil canine spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMegumi Okina (Ju-On: The Grudge) plays the art designer for a horror-themed videogame in the innovative St. John’s Wort, who is forced to confront her childhood traumas when her colleagues ask her to gather visual materials from the creepy gothic mansion she has inherited from her estranged artist father. Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman features the titular predatory murderess drawn from urban legend, where it turns out home isn’t the safest place for her potential child victims in this disturbing supernatural horror. A new craze for wearing ceramic masks sweeps the students of a high school, unleashing a wave of anonymous juvenile delinquency amongst the literal fashion-victims of Persona, which boasts early appearances from Battle Royale stars Tatsuya Fujiwara and Chiaki Kuriyama. Last but not least, the chilling Noroi: The Curse adopts a pseudo-documentary format as an investigative reporter into paranormal phenomena is forced to confront horrors beyond his wildest imagination after learning about an ancient folkloric demon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentations of all seven films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal lossless 5.1 and lossless stereo sound options for Shikoku, Isola: Multiple Personality Girl, Inugami, St. John’s Wort, Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman and Noroi: The Curse, and original lossless stereo audio for Persona\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles for each film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeves and slipcover featuring newly commissioned artwork by Dare Creative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE — SHIKOKU \/ ISOLA: MULTIPLE PERSONALITY GIRL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary on Shikoku by Japanese cinema expert Tom Mes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary on Isola: Multiple Personality Girl by critics and Japanese cinema experts Jasper Sharp and Amber T.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Aftermath, Tom Mes discusses J-Horror at the turn of the millennium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething in the Water, an interview with Shikoku director Shunichi Nagasaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchive interviews with director Shunichi Nagasaki and actors Chiaki Kuriyama and Yui Natsukawa on Shikoku\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchive interview with actors Yoshino Kimura and Yu Kurosawa on Isola: Multiple Personality Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn-set footage of the filming of Shikoku\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal trailers and TV spots for both films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage galleries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDISC TWO — INUGAMI \/ ST.
