Shock Labyrinth, could you navigate your way through?
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Asian Horror
Thanks to Shock Til You Drop for pointing me towards the fantastic looking website for the upcoming Japanese Horror film ‘Shock Labyrinth‘. I have decided to devote this weekends post to my beloved Asian Horror, as due to my obsession with Eric Northman from True Blood, I have neglected my favourite horror sub-genre!
So lets get to it… ‘Shock Labyrinth’ is directed by Takashi Shimizu who also wrote and directed the J-Horror stalwart Ju-on (1,2,3!). The website is a remarkable piece of web design, rotating a site map of the hospital our young teenagers get trapped in which turns out to be a haunted house and labyrinth of horrific twists and turns. The site is accompanied by a creepy soundtrack and enables you to explore the story, music and trailer (see below). Of course I am delighted it is in my favourite colours too, red and black!
Unfortunately the trailer doesn’t have English subtitles but the message is very clear, with images of ragged toy bunnies, and the ever present long haired Asian girl with the vacuous yet psychotic stare and staccato gait. Are those hessian bags full of kittens or humans? Either way I’m keen to see this film! Roll on October!

August 14th, 2009 at 6:54 pmHello Ms. H,
Thank you for this bit of news my dear. Some of the pictures on the website were fantastically frightful. The grubby operating theatre shots look spine-tingling and gruesome.
I might have to sit this one out…

That music would make doing the dishes creepy.
