Tales of the Unusual
世にも奇妙な物語 映画の特集編
Also known as Yo nimo kimyo na monogatari - Eiga no tokubetsuhen, 기묘한 이야기, Tales of the Bizarre, Yonimo kimyô na monogatari - Eiga no tokubetsu hen, 世界奇妙物語 電影特別篇
A four-part anthology in the spirit of The Twilight Zone, this film starts off with a group of commuters stranded at a train station in the rain, listening to stories told by one of the group. These include tales of a group stranded in the mountains and haunted by guilt over a death they inadvertantly caused, an emotionally broken chessmaster pressed into playing a real-life game for an eccentric millionaire, a wandering medieval samurai who finds a modern-day cell phone on the ground and a person on the other end asking questions about the past, and a young couple who agree to try a computer simulation of what their future as husband and wife would be like.
