Tales of the Undeparted

Mijobutsu Monogatari AKB48 Ikai e no Tomoshibidera
2021 / 101m - Japan
Horror - Anthology
1.5*/5.0*
Tales of the Undeparted poster

A classic Japanese horror anthology. These films are usually pretty fun, if not the most inspired anthologies. Beware though, this is an AKB48 vehicle, a cheap promotional film to give some girl of the popular project a chance to act. Sadly, none of them seem ready for an acting career.

The presence of Masafumi Yamada gave me some hope, but the film is just incredibly cheap and lazy. The horror elements are poorly realized and while there are several shorts, they all look and feel very similar. Even horror fans will find little to like here, safe a handful of scenes. Maybe hardcore AKB48 fans will have a better time with this one.
