^ great clips, thanks for posting Yoshino san!
Ayami was very cute, overwhelmed by emotions as
this was her feature film debut.
Not only did I originally
miss that Fujiko Kojima was in the cast, but now I learned that
Kasumi Yamaya was also a 'classmate'....
The cast
Film got very good reviews from one of the best reviewers
around, Mark Schilling, of the Japan Times:
Here is an excerpt:
"Even so, “Fatal Frame” gets a lot right, beginning with its casting of real, if unknown teens, instead of the usual name actors a decade or so older than their characters. Morikawa is a stand-out as Michi, playing her as a hypersensitive bundle of determination and fear, with the latter finally winning out. Model-turned-actress Nakajo has less to do as Aya, but is nonetheless a commanding presence in her doppelganger mode."
