THE CHASING WORLD


The Chasing World (a.k.a. Real Onigokko) is a 2008 Japanese thriller directed by Issei Shibata, and starring Takuya Ishida, Mitsuki Tanimura, and Rio Matsumoto.

All around Japan, everybody whose last name is Sato is beginning to die mysteriously. While all this is happening, high school student Tsubasa Sato ends up in a parallel world after a fight with gangsters. Everything seems to be the same, except for his friends who act different from who they used to be. After a further explanation, Tsubasa understands that there is a horrible game going on in which everybody named Sato is also dying in this world. Tsubasa eventually realizes that the parallel world is somewhat linked to his own world; and the people who die in any of the worlds, ends up dead in the other one. Every time the siren sounds, Tsubasa has to run for his own life and also try protect his sister who, of course, by having the same last name, is in danger too.
