Director Horie Kei seems to have taken to heart and benefited from the ubiquitous axiom, “If at first you don’t succeed, Try again!”

The Geneon DVD release of “The Locker” is in actuality a “double-feature” of the J-Horror movies “Shibuya Kaidan” (”Shibuya Ghost Account”) and its sequel, “Shibuya Kaidan 2.”
Like most Asian Scare films to date, a lot is familiar and may leave some viewers a bit more jaded about the over-mined ‘vengeful spirit’ genre than they already are. But Kei & company calm manage to offer up a few newish twists and ideas of their beget. For starters, the tragic event which drives the set this movie is said to have been inspired by an true apt case. Another relatively current notion was to exhibit a haunting spirit who “age progresses” (though this latter understanding does not state very well with many viewers of these two films) .

Of course, “long hair” comes into play, as could be expected from this genre, but many viewers have effort in accepting the amount and thickness of the ghost-girl’s hair as being believable, but it becomes convincing when one keeps in mind that we’re dealing with a ghost that has “age-progressed” from infancy and has never known basic things we normally grasp for granted, such as hygiene, haircuts, etc.
As attractive as the legend & idea of “Shibuya Kaidan” is, there’s really not mighty there in the movie itself. With the exception of a few memorable instances, the interactions of the ghost-girl, Sachiko, with her victims are less than convincing or disturbing — in some cases they’re downright humorous. And so “Shibuya Kaidan,” as a stand-alone movie, though not entirely dreary, is almost completely ‘forgettable.’
But something or somebody later takes a turn somewhere, and fortunately, in his second attempt, Horie Kei figures out not only how to fade the memoir along promisingly but also how to dismay his audiences.
Being a “impart continuation” of the established storyline (a rarity for ‘A-Horror’ sequels), “Shibuya Kaidan 2″ picks up directly from the point where its predecessor left off, retaining several of the same key characters as they now go about on their gain quests in an attempt to fit all the essential pieces together to unravel and ultimately understand the origin of the curse — and hopefully to figure out a plot to shatter it.
A coin locker in Shibuya City is the flashpoint where the curse originates, where anyone accessing it becomes marked by Sachiko’s curse (great like the Saeki house in Shimizu Takashi’s “JUON”) . But there’s a fascinating twist in that a couple of urban legends have sprung up around this public locker, one which recounts the tragedy enthralling Sachiko, the other suggesting that the spirit within its confines is ‘beneficent’ in nature and will grant the lovelorn luck & success in their relationships.
Of course, the individual legends sometimes obtain fused as well as confused, at times resulting in some visitors being aware of not only the “righteous fortune” angle of the locker sage, but also of its murky history — including its curse. Yet, ever the optimists, most of those who are aware of its base side (whether they hold in the spooky record or not) calm use the locker in hopes of receiving blessings to better their fancy lives. I judge this paradox of behavior is allotment of what makes this fable both refreshingly modern yet at the same time difficult to characterize to. Because we are so archaic to characters in stories being completely ignorant and clueless about the moral nature of a ‘haunted house’ or similar locale or object, it seems to cruise in the face of convention that there would actually be those who’d “willingly” risk becoming the targets of a curse after having been made aware of such a possibility.
Had it only been the first of these movies released on DVD, I would have found it terribly difficult to recommend “Shibuya Kaidan,” and based on how I received that movie I’d have definitely bypassed its sequel. But since Geneon included both movies on a single disc, I wholeheartedly recommend this DVD. The first share is a bit difficult to accept through (especially with all of the camera movements, odd angles and ‘handheld’ stuff to distract you), but let it verbalize its establishing tale, since your patience will be nicely rewarded in the sequel.
[["3-stars" for the 'establishing' story; "4-stars" for the sequel; "4-stars" overall]]
Stateside there has been a wave of interest in Japanese scare films. Starting with the American re-make “ring” and continued with the film “the Grudge”. Both films were groundbreaking when they were released mighty like “friday the 13th” and “halloween” both gave rise to the “slasher” genre in the early 1980s. “the Locker” is a Japanese film which borrows heavily from the current Japanese films “ringu” and “Ju-ON” to produce 2 films that arent very scary but are incredibly fun to view.
The locker is based on the Japanese urban account that somewhere in Shibuya (an region of Tokyo current with teens and college kids) there is a coin locker that will give you valid luck if you consume it and confess your accurate savor. This notion has been curved and 6 college kids happen to learn the secrets and consequences of Locker 0009.
The record is predictable and anyone who has seen either Ringu or Ju-On wouldnt be creeped out by the imagery or the the memoir. Having said that iot was fun fair to notice the scenery of Tokyo and listening to the Japanese students cut-up.
The sequal “Locker 2″ is also included on this disc and is lovely great a rehash of the current film with current people. Both films are campy but at 72 minutes each a miniature investment in killing time.
