We've got a very special treat all thew way from Japan as we've got the first ever photos from The Shock Labyrinth 3D, the latest horror film from director Takashi Shimizu (Ju-On, The Grudge, Marebito). The horror-thriller follows a group of teenagers dealing with the sudden return of a friend who went missing a decade ago. When the friend falls ill, they take her to a hospital but end up trapped in a labyrinthine haunted house. Check out the hi-res stills inside!
The film’s central setting is inspired by the Labyrinth of Horrors attraction at Fuji-Q High Land amusement park, near the base of Mount Fuji. The attraction set the Guinness world record for the largest haunted house in the world. Much of the film is being shot on location during the park’s off hours.

"Inspired by the Labyrinth of Horrors attraction at Fuji-Q High Land amusement park..." doesn't sound like a promising foundation for a movie, but I've always enjoyed Shimizu's films (at least his Japanese films where he can actually enjoy creative freedom as a director)
Dreamworks has this in production right now.
As for the americans they can't pull off japanese ghost. EVER.
But those Japanese sure fuckin can.
and in 3D
come on guys... its Takashi Shimizu...the father of the "Ju-On" series and the best J-horror director in the bizz right now...he can come over again and make the remake here!
Voorhees4president is right. But look at it this way, if J-Horror wasn't based on ghost stories there would be a missing element in the equation of horror. I for one think this will be a fun, jumpy movie. I really hope it's released here in the US.
DAMN! Gotta be the great movie! Shimizu's the best in Horror 4 me. Can anyone tell me smth about JU-ON 3?? Will it ever be released?
