Plot: Four shorts set in and around Tokyo. A man is caught in a time loop and can only move back in time by murdering others. A woman gets into a standoff with her mirror's reflection. A girl is chasing ghosts but she didn't think one would fall in love with her. And finally, we see Hachiko's revenge.

Four French directors move to Tokyo to combine their horror shorts into a fun anthology. There's some talent here, but also quite a few rougher edges. I did appreciate the nihilistic endings of the various shorts, but the way there was often a bit too bumpy to speak of an overpowering success.
The performances are a tad disappointing, as are the scores, but the horror elements are fun and there's enough variety here to keep things interesting. The third short is probably the weakest, and the first one is the best of the bunch, but the quality is surprisingly consistent. Not bad now that Halloween is getting closer.
