The first live action feature from Ôtomo (the director of Akira (1988)), was from a story written by Satoshi Kon. Being a fan of both men’s work meant I was understandably excited. It’s a low budget horror comedy that follows the misfortunes of an ineffectual Yakuza named Ita as he tries to make a small group of foreigners leave an apartment block that his boss wants to demolish. But amongst the residents is one who won’t be easily moved, because they’re dead. Evil spirits are the worst kind of tenants.
