LOVE GHOST


Love Ghost (a.k.a. Lovesick Dead) is a 2001 Japanese horror film directed by Shibuya Kuzuyuki and starring Lisa Goto, Ryuhei Matsuda, Asumi Miwa, and Hitomi Miwa.

The movie starts with Midori (Lisa Goto) returning to her place of birth, which she grew up and stayed until she was seven years old. At her first day in school, she comes across an enigmatic boy who happens to be her old playmate. As Midori reconnects Ryusuke (Ryuhei Matsuda), some of the schoolgirls begin to talk about a mysterious boy in black who possesses the unique ability to predict the future and find out exactly what love has for people. Midori realizes the story has some sort of connection with a recurrent nightmare she has almost every night.
However, after some girls decide to summon upon the mysterious boy in black, they start to commit suicide, and act somewhat crazy in the classroom. Midori is then forced to confront the black dressed boy of her dreams as she tries to maintain her sanity in all the surrounding chaos of the town and specially the school.
At some point it will be unclear for Midori whether she is living in reality or just one of her recurrent bad dreams.
