Ghost Train
A child picks up a rail pass on an empty train platform and incurs the wrath of an angry long-haired ghost, who demands it back. The child freaks out, but keeps the pass anyway. Soon, the child is taken away by the ghost and its giant batch of hair, never to be seen again. But before he embarks on his last train ride, the child manages to tell his friend Noriko and her older sister Nana about the pass. Actually, I can't blame the ghost for being mad at the kid; those passes are really expensive.
That's the setup for Ghost Train, the latest entry in the Japanese horror genre. Erika Sawajiri (who, including this film, has acted in five films and one television drama in 2006) stars as Nana, a goody-two-shoes who has a sick mother in the hospital and is not very popular at school despite being the class president. One day, Noriko picks up another rail pass and brings it home with her. Next thing you know, she sees the missing boy on the train platform on her way to see Nana's mother the next day.
Noriko tries to follow him and also disappears without a trace. Nana begins to investigate, but when a video camera captures Noriko walking in an empty train station at 2 in the morning, the police inexplicably take it as a good sign that she is still alive and well. At the station, Nana crosses paths with Shunichi (Oguri Shun), a station agent demoted from conductor because he keeps reporting something on the tracks, and delays the trains by stopping to investigate. However, even though he was demoted for his paranoia, Shunichi refuses to help Nana because believing her would cost him his job.
