Over at 24 Frames Per Second, they’ve got the scoop on a new Japanese horror movie called Another. The film is based off an anime which was in turn inspired by a bestselling novel by author Yukito Ayatsuji. The story follows a 15 year-old protagonist who transfers to a new school and is assigned to Class 3-3.
It doesn’t take long for him to realize that Class 3-3 is haunted or, at the very least, bad things tend to happen to its students, like the poor girl who is impaled by her umbrella handle. The characters race to figure out why Class 3-3 is cursed, which may be tied to a fateful night back in 1972.
The big screen adaptation of Another arrives from Ghost Train director Takeshi Furusawa and should be in theaters in Japan this August.
