About a month ago, E.Dog introduced you to a little found-footage ditty called AKUMA, which marks Deon Taylor’s CHAIN LETTER follow up. At the time, all we really had was a brief synopsis from the Screen Media production. Now? How about a poster and teaser trailer?
Firstly though, a more thorough break-down:
Akira Tanaka, a young & attractive but emotionally damaged Japanese woman moves to the United States to escape a past marked by tragedy. She moves in with her sister Hana and her new husband Adam, hoping to leave her demons behind and start a new life. But as Akira’s behavior grows increasingly erratic and strange disturbances mark the night, Akira is forced to reveal her real reason for coming: to flee the malevolent spirit that has been tormenting her since childhood… and which appears to have followed her here.
While we still haven’t any idea who will star in AKUMA, we do know the script was co-written with Taylor by Blayne Weaver and Joe Bockol. The flick will likely release sometime next year.
