Mitsushima Hikari admits she can't watch horror movies during preview screening of "Rabbit Horror 3D"

Today, actress Mitsushima Hikari and director Shimizu Takashi attended the preview screening of their upcoming horror movie, "Rabbit Horror 3D".

It's the first horror movie for Mitsushima, who's� received many 'Best New Actress' awards in film festivals worldwide. At the event, she confessed that she is actually quite a timid person. She said, "I don't like horror movies. I watched one once during junior high school and I couldn't sleep for a whole week."

So how did she come to accept the role? Mitsushima explained, "When I read the script, something in my mind told me that I should participate in this movie and that's why I accepted the offer."

She then went to describe the movie in her own words, saying, "When watching the movie you don't go like 'A ghost! Ahh!'; instead, it feels more like a daydream. I really love this movie. I hope many people will watch it and love it just as much as I do."



During the second half of the stage greeting, a child with white make-up (similar to Shimizu's horror masterpiece "Ju-on: The Grudge") went up on stage and handed some flowers to the rabbit mascot standing next to the actors, as if it were passing the torch to its successor. This odd little moment was supposed to show that Shimizu tried to create a new masterpiece that could follow in the footsteps of "Ju-on".

When Mitsushima was asked whether she watched "Ju-on", she immediately replied, "I could never watch such a movie! It's too scary..." Director Shimizu couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face.

"Rabbit Horror 3D" will open in Japan on September 17th.
