Takashi Shimizu made Ju-On in 2002. Kayako became one of the most imitated figures in horror history. The Hollywood remake followed. More sequels. Then a hiatus.
He is now building a new franchise.
Sana is a horror series Shimizu has been developing since 2023. The goal is a new J-Horror icon, positioned to stand alongside Sadako from Ring and Kayako from Ju-On. Sana: Play with Me is the third film.
It's set in a high school where students secretly play a forbidden game. The game spreads. People start dying. A school counselor realizes her own sister is involved.
If you like the early Ring and Grudge films, this is exactly what you're looking for. People on Backlot discovered it this month.
