I’m always a little taken aback when I hear of a video game adaptation that doesn’t have Uwe Boll attached to it, but I guess it’s not physically possible for him to adapt every video game property in the world. Looks like the Japanese got the jump on SIREN, based on a Playstation 2 game that caused controvery in Asia for scaring children with its TV ads.
The movie concerns: Yamijima, a fictitious island where all the inhabitants vanished without a trace 29 years ago. The heroine comes to Yamijima to help out her little brother, who’s resting there after an illness. However, she soon starts to encounter strange phenomena on the island, where an ordinance forbids anyone from going outside when the local air-raid siren is sounding.
Not the creepiest thing I’ve ever heard, but hey, it’s a slow day. You can check out the trailer at the Official Site. Despite the tease of having the menus all in English, the rest of it is in Japanese, but don’t worry. You’ll find it easily enough.
