Koji SHIRAISHI
Shirome
Nippon Visions ½
Horror meets mockumentary meets J-pop! In SHIROME director Koji SHIRAISHI himself accompanies the Japanese girlie-popband Momoiro Clover on a trip to a haunted school. While they approach the evil spirit Shirome to beg for his blessing, the film gorgeously deconstructs every expectation towards the horror genre, makes fun of us and even of itself. Prepare to be tricked!
