Tales of Terror: The Painted Face
2009, Japanese. Directed by Hirokatsu Kihara & Ryuta Miyake & Ichirô Nakayama.
Here is a school where hangs a portrait of a female whose face has been painted over. If you scratch away a portion of the whitewash, the woman actually appears to haunt and harass you. Her face is said to defy description, so horrifying in fact that one wishes for death upon seeing it. This school forms the backdrop for female teen, Yayoi Himeno, who finds herself embroiled in a terrifying mystery.
