Trailer for idol-centric J-horror "Kotsutsubo"
The official website for Akira Nagae’s Kotsutsubo has been updated with a YouTube embed of its new trailer.
The film is based on a short story by Yusuke Yamada (The Chasing World, X Game) and stars members of four different idol groups: Natsumi Matsubara of AKB48, Rurika Yokoyama of Idoling!!!, Rina Miyazaki of Super☆GiRLS, and Ai Shinozaki of AeLL.
Matsubara plays an inconspicuous female high school student Eri who goes completely unnoticed by her classmates. In contrast, her childhood friend Mitsuko (Yokoyama) is the class leader and is constantly hit on by their creepy teacher, Ichida (Mamoru Tsubouchi). In order to protect her friend, Eri obtains a funerary urn rumored to hold ashes that cause certain death for anyone who gets them in their mouth.
As you can see from the trailer, things get a smidge out of hand. Although one wonders why they couldn’t just use poison—not spooky enough?...
