In the modern cities where all the darkness are said to be gone,

there still exists the darkness that is everlasting from the ancient times.

The darkness of the dead that appears on the verge of this world.

The underworld is always waiting for a chance to drag us down into the dark side.

And there is another darkness that is still growing.

Haven't you forgotten where the darkness grows most enormously?

Yes, it grows within our distorted heart.

Sometimes the camera captures the darkness of such moment.

The videos that are born from the darkness and to be buried in the darkness.

Let us introduce you what camera catches in the darkness.

Tokyo Videos of Horror 12

Video holder: TV producer

This video was originally sent to the TV station.

Because we deal with horror related programs.

The content is as you see incredible.

The Man with the chair

It's all bare.

And there are stairs.

-Let's go there. -Ok.

Coming here and rolling the camera, we are a piece of shit.

Truly.

Three of us, all men.

If Take-san didn't suggest to come, I would have never done this.

I can never do this alone.

Hey, look at this!

-What are those? -I have no idea.

Hey.

Look.

This is so scary.

-This is weird. -Hey, wait.

-What is this? -Shoot it!

What is that?

What is it? What's going on?

What is this?

No, no, no.

Wait. Stop that!

No, you did it first!

Gee, I got panicked. Don't do this.

In this video, three young men are in an abandoned building.

Testing how courageous they are.

I don't know from where this video was sent.

There was no sender's name.

It only mentioned the name of the program which we produced.

I wonder why they opened such suspicious mail.

Are you so scared?

Is this the first room here?

All of a sudden, there comes a noise consecutively.

Inexplicable noise.

It's from upstairs.

No one should be there.

Maybe it's the wind from the window.

Something is hitting against the window glass.

But when we came in, there was no windows in here.

Shall we go?

Are you sure?

In order to find out what this noise is,

they went upstairs.

The door is opened here.

No one there?

No one.

Well?

-Let's go. -Ok.

What?

Ok.

Hey.

What?

There was a black chair.

There was a black chair there.

-No there wasn't. -Yes, there was.

Something like a chair. Black.

No way.

-You are misunderstanding. -Misunderstanding?

We don't need that.

The chair appears

And disappears.

It's from upstairs.

Shall we go?

Where does the noise come from?

They went to the third floor.

-Is this a bar? -It seems like.

So tattered.

Gosh, I'm freaking out.

To hang the neck?

-Is this for real? -No, it's a bad joke.

This is weired.

This is the first time I've ever seen this.

We don't see it so often.

A blind end here.

-Well? -What?

There isn't any noise.

What?

What do you mean?

We heard the noise from upstairs.

That's strange.

The noise from upstairs

starts coming from downstairs.

We were downstairs.

We've seen all the places downstairs.

Well...

It stopped.

The noise stopped.

-Why is that? -I don't know.

The noise stopped.

I don't understand it.

What do we do?

You are right.

After all, we couldn't find out what that was.

Something there.

What?

Right.

Shall we go?

-Is it a blind end here? -Yes.

We can't go any further.

-Shall we go back? -Right.

Watch your step.

This is eerie.

This is what I saw downstairs!

I saw this and it disappeared while I was talking to you guys.

This is it. I saw it downstairs.

Are you the one who is doing this?

Did you do that? This rope as well?

No, I didn't do it. Not me!

You are disgusting!

No, I didn't do it!

Masaki, is he the one who made the noise?

Is that it?

No, not him! He is not here!

No, we didn't. You both did it!

You two tried to scare me!

You are disgusting!

This is gross.

Masaki loves this kind of stuff.

Masaki!

What do we do with this?

We sit down on it.

We sit down on it? No way!

Let's play Rock, Scissors, and Paper.

Ok, you lose.

No way!

Please sit down. Quick!

Oh, no.

I'll take your picture.

Look at the camera.

Take-san will take your picture.

Ok, now. You look stiff.

Smile. Say cheese.

Ok. You look great!

Ryu? We took your picture.

Ryu, that's enough.

What's wrong?

Ryu?

Now you are doing too much.

Ryu?

What the hell are you doing?

It came off.

I put him down.

Ryu.

Ryu, can you hear me?

Ryu! What is going on with you?

Can you walk? Slowly.

Are you alright?

We climb down the stairs.

I lend you my shoulder.

-That's ok. Why are you shooting? -No, I'm not shooting.

Three of them headed to the exit.

Ryu, are you ok?

Who is it?

I don't know.

Who is it?

Wait a moment.

Wait a moment.

Take-san, quick!

Take-san, quick.

What about Ryu?

Ryu? I don't know. You were with him, right?

Wait, Take-san, wait.

Ryu?

What do we do?

What do we do?

Wait Take-san.

Slowly.

What do we do?

What the hell.

With this angle,

the video ended.

Within the envelope of this video,

there was a memo inside.

I also wanted to give it to you,

but I couldn't find it anywhere within our company.

I'm sure it was kept with the video.

Can you guess what was written on that memo?

I don't know.

"Would you like to buy my chair?"

"from the Man with the chair."

Would you like to buy my chair?

from the Man with the chair.

Video holder: Student of medical school

I think you know that I attend medical school.

I obtained that video at school.

Something black

Originally, it belonged to the former professor of where I belong.

And my professor got it from him.

He asked me what I think of this.

I couldn't figure it out. I didn't answer.

That video was a very good opener

for me to be interested in occult.

Well, my professor died for cancer.

I found that video when I was cleaning up his lab.

That's why I have it now.

Yes, today I watched TV and...

TV, I mean nothing is funny about it.

But I enjoyed it.

Oh, yes. Just for a change of air,

I listened to music.

Well, yes. Today it was very boring.

This is called diary therapy.

We let the patients with psychological problem to write a diary of what they do everyday.

And the doctors will read them.

By doing so, the patients can see themselves objectively.

That's how the therapy is done.

That patient...

He was seriously injured by traffic accident that made him hovering between life and death.

His body is well recovered.

But mentally, he suffers huge trauma.

That's why he has been visiting psychiatry.

Since he didn't want to do any writing,

And probably...

The psychiatrist let him talk to the video.

That should have been the instructions.

Today again...

A day has passed.

Today,

I have been laying down.

Today, I have been watching movies whole day.

He just talks to the video in a detached tone till the end.

But the therapy is going in a good direction.

Today, I have a guest from Gunma Prefecture.

This is my mother, Hiromi.

Mom, look at the camera.

What are you shooting?

Professor Sano told me to write a diary.

A diary?

What does it have to do with the video camera?

Because I don't want to write letters.

Oh, you don't want to write letters. That's why you are recording with camera.

-So, you are doing that everyday. -Yeah.

Is dad doing fine?

He's doing fine.

Every weekend he goes to the elementary school.

-Coaching football. -Right.

Seems like the parents of the kids say something to him about who plays what.

Ok, see you next Friday.

-Eat well. -Alright. Thank you.

See you.

So my mom went back home.

She comes here about once a week.

Normally,

since I have no money, I should be back home...

but I have never been getting along with my dad.

That's why I keep living here.

He becomes sociable like shooting other person.

He also talks about his problem.

I think the therapy was in a favorable way.

Again...

I saw the dream of the accident.

You always listen my story very well...

but I understand that you don't believe me.

Surely...

what I say may sound impossible.

But for me...

it's a true story.

When that accident happened...

I was driving the highway at night.

I was talking rubbish with Yamamoto and Nonaka.

It was...

yes, I think about the wife of Hamano.

I was sitting at the back seat.

Then...

I looked out the window on the left while talking.

Then...

the something black like a person appeared...

He came running beside the car.

And...

I...

I was surprised and

me in a state of shock, he passed our car,

then there was a huge impact.

When I realized, being pressed in the car, I couldn't move.

My mind was...

I was spacing out.

There were many people gathered around the car.

I could see the eyes.

Among them, there was that something black like a man.

That man came closer to Yamamoto's face who was bleeding at the driving seat...

Then from Yamamoto's mouth, something like white smoke came out.

The man inhaled that smoke and soon after that...

he walked towards Nonaka.

Just like he did, he inhaled Nonaka's white smoke.

Finally...he came towards me...

then...

I was spacing out.

I wasn't scared.

The man clicked his tongue and walked away.

Then I lost consciousness.

Then I always wake up at this moment.

This story could be impossible.

I hit my head in the accident and I think I saw some hallucination.

Something black like a man

caused an accident?

No matter what, he started telling about the accident.

I think the therapy was in a favorable way.

Although he didn't like to go out,

he opened the window and started shooting outside.

Today, I feel fine.

I open the window.

Feel so good.

They are enjoying playing gate ball.

Oh, the slide.

He might have been feeling a freedom.

He did it again at night.

The video then goes without stopping.

Out of focus. Why?

What?

Something black like a man

found him out...?

Something black like a man came into my room.

I tried to sleep and I turned out the light. He was there at the entrance.

No.

Now...

Do you believe me?

Professor?

I should never turn out the light.

Where is the remote?

His mother found him.

By that time then, his heart wasn't beating anymore.

-You mean he was dead? -Right.

What was the cause?

A heart attack.

Yes, what we call a death by shock.

What do you think about that black thing?

Lurking in the darkness to bring death

Something black

Room with a past

Video holder: TV producer

In our company, we do several times a year.

In our company, we do several times a year. The program introduces the unnatural phenomena of the world.

The program introduces the unnatural phenomena of the world.

And this time, we decided to get into the room with a past.

We did researches and picked up several rooms.

Among them, we found a room that people stays only a day or two after they moved in.

Then I heard from the researcher that this room has no tenant for years and years.

We found such room.

The content of the program was to observe what is going to happen when two entertainers stay there over night.

But before that, the director intended to let two assistant directors stay there for few days for the preparation.

So, for a moment, they shoot whatever to keep recording.

And if some unnatural phenomena happen, we thought we could also use that for the program.

Three days

recording

It's 6 o'clock in the morning now.

So please take care until 6 o'clock on 7th.

Ok.

For a moment, use the fixed camera and this hand-held one. Make sure that one of them is working and change the memory.

If something happens, please shoot with this hand-held camera.

Something happens?

If in case.

Is the battery ok with the fixed camera? Have you got AC?

Yes.

Yes, we have. We brought many batteries.

No problem.

Is it ok while you sleep?

Ok.

-Only two cameras? -Right.

I thought we install many just like security camera.

No, not now. We do that when two entertainers come for real. It is just a preparation now.

We have so many cameras in the car.

Ok, I'll bring them back.

What?

-Are you going now, Yamada-san? -Yes, I have to check a lot of edittings.

You are lucky you can stay here for three days.

You have been sitting up all night and haven't slept at all.

Would you like to change the position with Suzuki-san?

No. That doesn't work.

Please just leave the camera on.

Ok, we understand.

-Take care. -Good bye.

He went out dashing.

-What is this room? -Dangerous room.

How dangerous?

I asked him but he didn't tell me.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

It's awful.

We slept and it's almost in the evening.

We slept like a log.

We haven't been sleeping well for last few days.

Mami is going out to get something to eat for this evening.

We are starving.

The door wasn't locked.

-Ok. Take care.

I may not be coming back anymore.

No kidding.

Ok, I shoot inside the room.

This is the bathroom.

Just like this.

And...

Next to the bathroom is the toilet.

Hey.

There was a strange person.

-A strange person? -Yes, down there.

How was he?

He was praying. He put down flowers and prayed.

Wait a moment.

We shoot with the camera.

-Shall I say it again properly? -Yes, say it properly.

Ok.

Rolling.

I went out to buy some food.

And as I came back,

just underneath this apartment,

there was an old man who put flowers and prayed.

And I talked to him.

I asked him if he has something to do with this apartment.

Then he hastily ran away.

I couldn't...

I took his video.

Here.

How old did he seem?

Somewhere around 60?

Do you have something to do with this apartment?

Temporarily, I live in that room.

Are you relevant to this room?

We are shooting. Could I interview you?

Who is he?

Well...

We'd better go and shoot it.

He ran away.

Why was that?

To the right?

Just beneath the room.

He prayed like this.

He was praying down there and when I talked to him, he ran away.

He didn't talk.

Ok, he can keep it secret.

Who came up with this project?

Yamada-san.

Yamada-san!

Nice and clean Yamada-san.

Nice and clean?

Seriously?

Wearing a white ironed shirt today.

That?

Yamada-san...

he goes to sex club during the location.

Wait, Mami. Everyone watches this.

That's alright!

Do you say that? Everyone watches this.

I say it!

I don't know.

Everybody knows, Yamada-san.

That...

At Niigata.

I don't know. You never told me.

At Niigata when we were filming...

I go to bathroom.

Why are you shooting?

Mami, did you close that door?

-Where? -There.

-No, I didn't. -Ok. I misunderstood.

Never mind.

Stop that!

In order to record inside, the door of this room

was supposed to be opened.

He goes to sex club during the location.

Hey, wait everybody watches this.

That's ok. It's Yamada-san.

Everyone watches. You say that?

I say that.

I don't know.

Everybody knows, Yamada-san.

That...

At Niigata.

The door of the room

opened itself.

I turn this into the infrared mode.

Ok.

One of the assistant director woke up in the middle of the night

and checks the other room

I turn it down and change the battery.

We slept like a log again. It's already at noon. I mean in the evening.

It's 4 o'clock.

Good morning.

-What time? -It's 4.

I couldn't sleep.

What?

At night?

Why?

Because of the noise.

Didn't you hear the noise?

I don't know.

When I tried to sleep, I heard the noise.

When I'm awake, there's no noise.

So I slept in the morning.

You slept in the morning?

From where?

-From this room? -Right.

Where?

Around here.

Over there is the neighbor?

-No. The road. -The road.

I opened here yesterday.

It's all empty.

Wasn't that a dream?

A dream?

Did you confirm with the other camera?

Yes, I did.

How was that?

Nothing was inside.

That could have been a dream.

What is that?

What are these?

Did you see them when we arrived?

That's awful.

Maybe Yamada-san did it.

-He did it with Nojima. -No way.

-They did it while we were sleeping. -But they were not recorded.

Until what time did you see?

They did it from outside by using ladder.

Yamada-san let Nojima do it.

But this is on the second floor.

They can climb up here. They are men.

No, they can't.

Sure they can.

Forget about it. Let's get some food.

I'm hungry. Let's go buy some food. I will go.

No, no. I go.

I don't want to stay here.

If you go outside. Shoot the handprints from the outside.

Oh, ok. I see.

Video or picture, whatever.

Seriously...

We just leave them like this.

Rolling.

Ok, explain from the beginning.

I came back from shopping.

I tried to shoot handprints from outside.

Then I saw Rika and a woman at the window.

The profile of the woman looked very much like Kawasaki-san.

So I ran upstairs.

But after you left...

I walked to the window.

And I recorded the handprints there.

Then I came back to this room and since then, I am sitting in this room.

I didn't even go to the bathroom.

How about Kawasaki-san?

No one came.

What?

Did you take the picture?

Let me see.

Rika...You team up with Yamada-san, right?

-To scare me, right? -No way.

I think you are doing it with Yamada-san.

No way.

What do you mean?

Assistant director Rika...

stands together with someone?

What do you mean? I never stand there.

But this is you, Rika.

You made this up.

Who?

-You, Mami. -No, I didn't.

This picture has to have your cooperation.

Then it's Yamada-san who's doing it.

-But Yamada-san can not do this alone. -But I never stood there.

I'm telling you I never stood there.

Then who is this?

I have no idea.

Let's stop that.

It's Yamada-san who is doing it.

He thinks it's funny to watch this video later so that we can laugh at it.

Let's calm down.

The same night.

Maybe it's the noise from the neighbor.

What are you talking about?

It's the corridor back there.

Here.

What do we do?

I open it.

It stopped.

I open it.

What is it?

The noise suddenly stopped.

-We have to open it. -What are you talking about?

Let's stay together.

Here we go.

Nobody's inside.

See?

Here we go.

Why there isn't anybody?

What's going on?

It's so spooky here.

The fixed camera

caught something inexplicable.

Some kind of shadow

comes out from the back of the closet

I really want to go home.

I understand.

But we promised to be here for three days.

This is our duty.

It's not that easy.

Well, I was thinking about quitting this job.

Not because of this.

Not because of this. But the work is too hard.

We can't even go home.

I don't know.

Let's ask him if we can interrupt.

Hold this.

Hello.

Sorry for calling you up so late. This is Ninomiya speaking.

Yamada-san, are you setting up something?

The day before...

A man came with the flower and prayed.

You really don't know about anything?

Can we stop this once?

What?

Ah, yes.

Tomorrow? You mean today?

Ok, what time?

At 1 o'clock?

Could you come much earlier?

Ok. I understand. We hang on until 1 o'clock.

You have to come absolutely.

See you. Bye.

He will be coming here at noon around 1 o'clock.

I can't...

But you see...

we are cornered.

Don't think about quitting the job right now.

Later you'll regret

-I'm not cut out for this job. -Stop that.

It's getting bright outside.

-Let's go to sleep. -No, I can't.

-Please stay closer. -Ok.

They wait until the dawn

and decided to go to sleep

Mami, look at the watch. What time is it?

What?

It's 23:00.

We heard the noise from the closet and then later we slept.

We went to sleep on 6th.

In the morning on 6th around 5 o'clock, right?

We have been sleeping whole day.

Then the time goes too fast.

This room is weird.

Yeah, this is strange.

Yesterday and the day before, when we woke up, it was in the evening.

There's no daytime.

I will check the other camera. Hold it.

It was on all the time.

We can't turn it on.

I don't care about that!

This room is so strange!

I quit! I quit this job.

Wait a minute!

Hey, wait. I call Yamada-san.

But he didn't come! He said he'd come at noon!

Mami!

Hey. Wait!

Hello, Yamada-san. It's Ninomiya speaking.

Hello.

Hello.

Mami?

Mami?

Mami?

Mami!

Why?

The video ends here.

The video itself ends like this.

The one who hit the head in the bathroom and the other girl...

Their lives are not threatened.

When the director visited them at the dawn

he found two of them losing consciousness.

But they both left our company.

They went back to where they came from.

I've heard that they live with their families.

Well, this project...

because of what happened...

....is put on hold.

He has one thing that he cares about

Within this video,

Yamada is supposed to come and pick them up at noon.

Ok, we hang on until 1 o'clock.

You have to come.

I asked him and he said...

he has never received such call from her.

Rather, the girl who hit her head in the bathroom,

he received calls everyday from her during three days.

Telling him that the shooting is going well and there was no problem.

That's what she told Yamada.

Yamada...

He went to location for another program and on his way home, he was killed by the accident.
