"Fatal Frame" Japanese Theatrical Poster
Since its inception in 2002, the Japanese video game series Fatal Frame has been one of the most popular and enduring franchises in the ‘survival-horror’ genre. Known as Zero in Japan, the series typically follows plucky young women as they investigate ancient tragedies and defeat ghosts using a supernatural camera that has the ability to expel spirits.
Now Fatal Frame is coming to the big screen. A live-action adaptation of the series is in the works from writer/director Mari Asato (Ju-On: Black Ghost). The film follows a beleaguered high school student who becomes cursed and can’t escape her dormitory; meanwhile, her fellow classmates are plagued by ghostly apparitions. A teaser trailer is now online for your viewing pleasure. The film is slated for release in Japan this September 2014. Thanks to Far East Films for the news.
