Don't Look Up -- In Fruit Chan's adaptation of Hideo Nakata's “Joyurei,” a young horror film director's sensitivity to paranormal visions sends him on a spiraling descent into madness that threatens his life and that of his crew. On location in the decrepit, abandoned former Transylvania Film Studios, the characters of the medieval Romanian folk tale he is attempting to adapt to film appear to come to life -- opening a portal in which horrifying deeds from the past begin to recur. Or is it all in the young director’s mind? The Ring Two -- Six months after the incidents involving the lethal videotape, new clues prove that there is a new evil lurking in the darkness.
