There is no doubt that the Japanese know what to do when it comes to horror. Beyond the trendy mangas of Junji Ito, movies like Ringu or Ju-on, both later passed through the American filter, have generated nightmares in several generations. Now, the trailer for a new movie that will leave you trembling has just been released.
This Man, which is the name of the movie, is based on an urban legend that was also used by Freddy Krueger or the recent Dream Scenario. In 2006, several patients from a clinic in New York (USA) claimed to share dreams with the same protagonist, whom they called This Man. The trailer makes it clear what the movie is about:
