The trailer and poster for the first live-action franchise debuted on Tuesday.
Both the original Corpse Party horror game from &TEAM GrisGris and the movie follow a group of high school students trapped in their high school after their last culture festival. The site of their school was once Heavenly Host Elementary, which is haunted by children who disappeared.
The film stars Ayumi Shinozaki, respectively.
Horror director Babylon ~before the daybreak," the theme song heard in the trailer.
The film is set to open in Japanese theaters on August 1, alongside a simultaneous live stream on Niconico Live.
XSEED Games released an iOS port with Xseed's English translation last year.
&TEAM GrisGris and 5pb. released the third and final chapter in the Heavenly Host Elementary School saga, titled Corpse Party: Blood Drive, in Japan last July.
The franchise has also inspired several manga adaptations as well as the Corpse Party: Tortured Souls -Bōgyaku Sareta Tamashii no Jukyō- video anime. The games have collectively sold over 100,000 copies, and the various manga series have sold over 100,000 copies.
