J-Horror Jumps The Shark (Again)

This week's random malevolent cursed object is...

HAIR EXTENSIONS:



EXTE: HAIR EXTENSIONS is a gripping Japanese horror, with a thrilling hirsute twist, starring Chaiki Kuriyama (Kill Bill, Battle Royale), that will be released on DVD on 14th July. A trip to the hairdressers will never be the same again.

What if hair extensions carried the grudge of the individual to which the hair originally belonged and took this anger out on the hair's new owner?

We're not sure, but it doesn't sound like the sort of thing a good scrub with some medicated Vosene wouldn't sort out.

Films about the following haunted objects also in the greenlight stage, probably: shoes*; condoms; chewing gum; AA batteries; washing machines; staplers; asthma inhalers; ATM machines; revolving doors; LEGO. And so on.

Then we'll have to sit through them all over again when they get remade by the Americans :(


*UPDATE: It would appear that someone has already done 'shoes':



We can't update this thing fast enough...
