The BEST episodes directed by Takashi Shimizu
#1 - Nao-chan
Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories - Season 2 - Episode 6
This is a story that happened to a particular boy and his family...
#2 - The Grudge
RiffTrax - Season 1 - Episode 15
The scariest thing to come out of Japan since Pink Lady, The Grudge tells the story of a young woman who travels to Japan with her underwear-sniffing boyfriend and soon finds herself in the clutches of an evil curse (as if having an underwear-sniffing boyfriend wasn't bad enough). Bill Pullman co-stars, sort of, in that he speaks several lines of dialogue. In contrast to a high body count slasher film, The Grudge is infused with a suffocating sense of dread, very much like an average episode of According to Jim. Kevin Murphy and Mike Nelson settle their own grudge in this not-to-be-missed RiffTrax.
