Teketeke (film)

Teketeke (テケテケ) is a 2009 Japanese supernatural horror film directed by Kōji Shiraishi and written by Takeki Akimoto.

[2] In Nagoya, an office worker named Hiromi Shimizu walks home at night, taking a path along an overpass near a train station.

The next day, Utsumi shows Kana and Ayaka a news report on his cell phone about the mysterious death in Nagoya.

She tells Kana, Rie and Takeda that the woman who killed herself was a nurse named Reiko Kashima, who had been raped by an American soldier.

Afterward, Takeda informs Kana and Rie of rumors he heard in middle school, which told of a memorial built for Kashima in Mikasa-cho, which has since fallen over.

Kana, who has been in an almost catatonic state since Rie's death, is offered a red box of sweets by Takeda, which causes her to go into hysterics.

The film premiered at Kineca Omori, Shinagawa, Tokyo, on 21 March 2009, and was screened alongside its sequel, Teketeke 2.

[4] Mami Yamasaki and Mai Nishida, along with Teketeke 2 cast members Sayuri Iwata and Hatsune Matsushima, attended the premiere.

[5] Adam Symchuk of Asian Movie Pulse wrote that "beyond the phenomenal creature design the film remains a rather generic telling of a popular urban legend with a plot and performances that are just passable".
