What happens

Don't Look Up (女優霊, joyū rei; lit. Ghost Actress) is a 1996 Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata. The film is set in a film studio where a drama film is being made. The film was made by Hideo Nakata while trying to fund production for his documentary film about director Joseph Losey. It was not a success in Japan but prompted an English-language remake in 2009, which was directed by Fruit Chan. The film also influenced the creative choices Nakata would have for his popular film Ring in 1998, as well as the sequel of Ju-On entitled Ju-On: The Grudge 2, which loosely based on after the film.
