KAZUO UMEZZ'S HORROR THEATER: VOLUME 2


Kazuo Umezz's Horror Theater: Volume 2 is a 2005 Japanese drama/horror anthology. The complete collection comprises three volumes each of them with two unrelated short stories. All of the tales written by popular manga author Kazuo Umezu.

Snake Girl: directed by Noboru Iguchi, and starring Ruriko Narumi, Arisa Nakamura, and Riko Suzuki.
After experiencing some gruesome events at her school, Yumiko is sent to spend the summer vacation with some relatives in the countryside. Soon after arriving, she feels some sort of rejection from the locals who avoid her and look at her weird. It seems that everything has to do mainly with a local superstition regarding the appearance of a snake-like woman who will consume the town.

The Wish: directed by Atsushi Shimizu, and starring Natsumi Okumura, Toshinori Omi, and Kyôko Toyama.
Hitoshi, a young middle school student, is always concerned about his lack of friends. One day he finds a piece of wood that looks like a human head and decides to make himself a new wooden friend. Some time later, when a new friend enters Hitoshi's life, his friendship with the wooden man becomes really creepy and much more difficult than he imagined.
