Completed - JAPANESE - Drama - 90 minutes
Takashi Miike makes his way back to the horror genre focusing on one of Japan’s most famous ghost stories, Yotsuya Kaidan. A pair of lovers, who act in the same play, are thrown into their own hell where the play begins to unfold horrifyingly in real life.

Yet another wild cinematic detour from madly prolific Japanese auteur Takashi Miike, OVER YOUR DEAD BODY unfolds within the walls of a theatre where a troupe of players are in rehearsals for a production of Yotsuya Kaidan, a 200-year-old tale of murder, betray- al, and phantasmagorical vengeance — and where life comes to imitate art in spooky and ultimately shocking ways. As theatre and life begin to intertwine, the film builds to a nightmarish finale that only a filmmaker as perversely brilliant as Miike could have envisioned.
