A two
part horror film. The first segment deals with a teenage girl who has
the ability to leave her body to torment friends and classmates if they
flirt with her garage-band boyfriend, Ryoji. What initially starts as
rather innocent fun, soon turns ugly. The second segment called The
Hollow Stone deals with a different girl's haunted apartment
and her chilling struggle for survival.
Both parts are loosely tied together through the presence of the Japanese
rock band Doggy Bag. The two brothers who organized that group
- Koji and Yuichi Matsuo - each headline their own story with their
band serving as a link between the two. But the real stars here are
Hitomi and Asumi Miwa, two sisters who are the current reigning Japanese
scream queens. Hitomi is best known for EMBALMING,
DIET,
and SUKEBAN
HUNTER: DUEL IN HELL while Azumi Miwa will always be remembered
for SURVIVE
STYLE 5, GREAT
SPOOK WARandUZUMAKI.
