A Strange House (2024) Movie Script

1
The first night when I moved to my
apartment, I heard a sound that like
scratching something in
the background of the wall.
I heard a sound.
It was a crunchy sound.
But it was a corner room.
There shouldn't be
someone next to it.
So, what was that sound?
Something was
strange, wasn't it?
This year, it's
going to be tough.
Sorry, did you hear that?
It's a good sound, isn't it?
What?
Today, we're
doing a live stream.
Amamiya, hasn't he
stopped making videos lately?
He's worried about our business.
I see.
He's been working
so hard lately.
Please give him a good one.
A good one?
Think about it.
Amamiya, aren't
you getting married?
Not really.
I don't want to
bother my family.
You're so cold-hearted.
You should give us a new house.
You know...
I'm looking for a
house right now.
Look at this.
Isn't this an ideal house?
It's a two-story house.
This is the ground floor.
And it's a one-storey house.
Oh, that's nice.
I think this is good enough.
But my wife...
She's worried
about the curtains.
The curtains?
Look at this.
Between the kitchen
and the living room.
There's a strange space.
What's this?
I asked the real estate agent.
He said he didn't know.
I don't have a problem with it.
But my wife really
doesn't like it.
She says it's disgusting.
If you don't mind,
I'd like you to ask her.
Father, please help me.
I don't know how
to hold up with her.
I 'm going to go and see
what he's not going to do.
Then, please help me.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I would never buy it.
What?
I would never buy it.
Can you be more specific?
Is there a problem with
this mysterious space?
This space was originally
made by two unnecessary walls.
In other words, this space
was needed for something.
It was needed for something.
For something?
What do you think it is?
Uh...
like putting a corpse here?
That's so stupid.
What else do you care about?
You will notice that there is a
strange sense of discomfort.
A room?
A children's room.
There are two doors.
Two double doors.
What is the
location of the door?
The location is strange.
To go up the stairs
to the second floor and
enter the room, you have
to go quite a long way.
What about the bathroom?
This room is equipped
with something.
There is not a single
window in this children's room.
And all the rooms are placed
to cover the children's room.
What do you think?
Do you feel something strange?
There is no window.
Two double doors.
The toilet is equipped. Yes.
But the bathroom is on the inside.
Then what is in the room?
There are only three windows.
Oh, there is a toilet.
The toilet is in the room.
Something that I can't show you.
It's just a delusion.
You can say whatever
you want to Mr. Yanaoka.
But I would say this.
Stop it.
Strange House
At first glance, it's
just a normal house.
But... I feel something
strange from the window.
What is really going on
in this strange house?
What kind of mystery is
hidden in this strange house?
Something is...
weird, isn't it?
It would be nice if it
was a story, but...
Huh...
what is this?
Excuse me.
It's still a strange room.
What do you want this time?
I mean...
if you're a designer, you
should live in a better room.
Living surrounded by books
of architecture and mysteries.
There's no better
room than this.
I don't understand at all.
If you don't need
it, please go home.
Well...
I noticed something about
the window frame the other day.
I tried to match the first and
second floor of the window frame.
Look.
Here.
It's a mysterious
room on the first floor.
But it overlaps with the corner
of the second child's room.
There's a shelf here.
But if there's a hole on this floor...
you can get down to the first floor.
Then...
it's a secret room.
And this space overlaps with the corner
of the bathroom on the second floor.
- Really?
- Yes.
Maybe this part, too?
If there's a hole
in this part...
you can go from the
child's room to the first floor.
This space becomes
a secret passageway...
and you can go up to the
bathroom on the second floor.
So...
What's the secret
passageway for?
There's always the intention of
the creator of the window frame.
But sometimes...
you can see the
darkness of the person...
that you can't touch.
What's the secret
passageway for?
If there really was a secret
passage in this house.
Do you see a story?
A story?
Well...
a long time ago...
a young couple and a
child lived in this house.
Just imagine.
Just imagine.
The child was locked in the
child's room for a certain purpose.
The couple often invited
guests to their house.
What if the guest was a person
who had a grudge against someone?
- Let's have a toast.
- Cheers.
After the meal... the
guest went to the bathroom.
On the other hand...
the couple sent a signal
to the child in the room.
The child went down the floor...
to the space
on the first floor...
to another floor.
And then...
In other words... this
house was built for the murder.
For the murder?
No way.
I can't say there isn't any.
Nowadays, there are many
secret sites... for the murder.
The killer's entrance
is also diversified.
It's no wonder this house...
was the workplace
of the murder.
No, no.
Wait a minute.
Here, here, here.
The shelves in this room...
are placed to hide
the secret passage way.
If that's the case... there's a secret
passageway under this shelf as well.
And that passageway... is connected
to the basement on the first floor.
Look.
With this... we have a route... to
separate the bodies... and carry them.
No way.
That can't be...
Mr. Yanaoka.
I'm glad you're here.
This is the house...
you were talking about.
But... I stopped
buying that house.
What?
I haven't seen the news.
I haven't seen the news.
If there's something like
that nearby... it must be...
Something like that?
Can I talk to you for a second?
An unknown... separated body?
The Zoukibayashi... that was
discovered... is near that house.
The body was separated... from
the head, hands, legs, and torso...
and buried in
the same place...
but only the left
wrist...was not found.
Only the left wrist?
That's pretty creepy.
See you.
No way... this
house... was really...
a house for murder?
If that's the case... it's
going to be a lot of money.
Let's look into it.
No.
Let's leave it at that.
What?
Since Mr. Yanaoka... has refused
to buy it... we don't need to...
find out anything
about this house.
And most importantly...
each house...
has...its own secret.
The house...
that was built...
for murder.
And... the mysterious body...
found in a nearby forest.
The missing... left wrist.
Everything...
is...weird, isn't it?
We will continue...
to solve this mystery.
Amazing, Mr. Yamemiya.
The number of views...
has skyrocketed.
Well... it's all thanks to... my
introduction... to good stuff.
You're right.
Let's continue... the second and
third episodes... with this attitude.
Right?
But...
we need more...
new information.
Um... Yuzuki Miyae.
Yes.
It's... Ameoto.
Please.
Thank you.
I'm sorry... for pushing
you... to this point.
No... that's fine.
But...
can you turn the
camera around for now?
so that you can't...
see my face?
Yes.
Before we start...
I'd like to say that...
I'm not sure...if I can tell you
the location... of that painting.
In fact...
my master...
My husband was killed by
the residents of that house.
What?
My husband, Kyoichi
Miyae, passed away.
We got married three years
ago and lived in Saitama.
One day...
Go to your friend's house.
He didn't come back.
He went missing.
A few months later, a body
was found in a nearby mountain.
The DNA test showed that the
body belonged to my husband.
Moreover, he didn't
have a left wrist.
Left wrist?
A left wrist.
The police were in
a difficult situation.
This story is creepy, isn't it?
But I thought I could find
a clue about my husband.
So I asked Mr. Yameyotoko.
Please lend me your strength.
At that time, my
husband was not far away.
So I looked for a strange object that
Mr. Yameyotoko was introducing to me.
Then...
I found this.
What do you think?
There are two things in
common in these two rooms.
First, the children's room.
There is no window.
There is a toilet for both.
There is a child.
I feel the will to hide
the child's existence.
And the bathroom...
There is no window here either.
Furthermore, there is a small
room next to the laundry room.
This is also similar to the
mysterious space of the Tokyo house.
Moreover, this room is
just below the child's room.
Then this house was
also built for murder.
A house built for murder.
However, there are
some differences.
For example, the garage.
It is in the house of Tokyo,
but not in the house of Saitama.
And this triangular room.
What is this room?
This room and the window
between the living room.
It is not uncommon to say
that it is an indoor window.
But in this position, most of
the wind and light come in.
Rather, it is a hindrance.
Therefore, this window was
originally facing the outside.
After this house was built,
there was a need for something.
So they increased this room.
What do you mean by
a need for something?
One more thing.
The other thing I am
concerned about is this part.
It is a strange space.
It would have been better
to make a room here.
If it was not possible
to make a room here.
What?
When you build a building, there is a process
of hitting the ground with a long rod.
However, this space was
not able to hit the ground.
It is possible to think that
there was something under here.
For example, the basement.
The basement?
Why is that?
It is to throw away
the dead bodies.
There is no garage
in this house.
Therefore, we built a place to put
the dead bodies in the basement.
No, no, no.
A place to put the dead bodies?
The possibility is not zero.
Are you serious?
It seems that luck
has come around.
It is not a coincidence.
Isn't it a curse?
This is definitely a puzzle.
Well, then.
Please, take care of it.
Yes.
Immediately.
I have a feeling that the location
of that house cannot be determined.
Actually, I also think so.
I also think so.
I also think so.
I will kill you in the
middle of that house.
But it is not like that.
You are the one who will kill.
I am the one who will kill.
I will kill you in the
middle of that house.
...
...
The woman I saw just
now was very scary.
Mr. Yanaoka was also
lying down at the front door.
What?
After that, there was a strange
noise and he stopped by here.
Then...
Mr. Yanaoka...
Mr. Yanaoka... Mr. Amemiya...
Let's break up already.
What?
Isn't this serious?
This is too dangerous.
Don't be so cocky.
What are you going to do?
You've given me a
warning, haven't you?
I won't go out with you anymore.
I won't even get a single yen.
Then...
I'll do it alone.
If you quit here, you
won't get a single yen.
This might not be
enough for the next time.
That's perfect.
It'll be a good story.
...
...
I've finally stepped
into that haunted house.
By the way, what did I
and my family do here?
As I say...
There should be...
There should be a mysterious
space in the back of this wall.
It's the second floor.
There's a room with
a problem in the back.
There it is.
Let's go in.
It's a double door.
If it's as I imagined,
it's down there.
Wow, it really was there.
Where are you?
I went through this
hole to the floor.
Then this house is...
This house was
built to kill people.
Amemiya-san, where are you now?
I'm in that house
with Miyae-san.
And actually... I also looked into
the case of Miyae Kyo ichi-san.
What?
It was written in the local newspaper at
the time, but Kyoichi-san was not married.
What?
Miyae Kyoichi-san
didn't have a wife.
In other words, the person you're
with now is an unknown woman.
Anyway, you should run
away from there right now.
Mr. Ameotoko?
What?
What?
Was it all you?
Was it you who
attacked me at that time?
Hey, police!
What?
It's not suspicious.
It's suspicious, isn't it?
That's right.
What were you doing inside?
I was attacked.
That guy...
I'm sorry to borrow
your clothes suddenly.
No.
More importantly, I asked
the neighbor just now.
I also got a photo.
In that house, there were
three families called Katabuchi.
Mr. Keita's husband, Mrs.
Ayano's wife, and Hiroto-chan.
And...
you are...
the sister of this
Ayano-san, right?
Yes.
It's all a lie.
I'm really sorry.
My real name is...
Katabuchi Yuzuki.
Why did you give up your name?
If I told you the truth, I
thought you might not like it.
Could you tell me in detail?
Yes.
My family...
was made up of my father, my
mother, and my sister, Ayano.
I thought we were
a normal family.
But when I was in
junior high school,
my father died in an accident.
Right after that,
my sister disappeared
from the house.
Mom, where is your sister?
Yuzuki...
Ayano...
is no longer my daughter.
Instead, Mr. Kiyotsugu, a relative's uncle,
started to come to our house regularly.
It was as if... he was
watching my mother and I.
I couldn't trust anyone.
After that, I was separated from my
mother, and I was alone, living in fear.
Then, half a year ago, I
suddenly got a call from my sister.
My sister...
My sister...
was married and had a child.
I'm sorry.
My name is Hiroto.
I'm almost two years old.
Why didn't you call me?
That's...
I'm sorry, Yuzuki.
I have to go soon.
What?
Wait a minute, sister.
Wait a minute.
Since that day, I haven't been
able to contact my sister again.
This address is...
Tokyo and Saitama.
The house with two windows.
My sister married Mr. Keita, and
stayed in the main house for a while.
About four years ago, she
built a house in Saitama.
After that, she built that house
in the city and moved there.
She moved there
one after another.
And that house in Tokyo has
been moved out immediately.
I feel like I'm being
watched all the time.
I don't know what to do.
At that time, I found a
video of Mr. Ameot oko.
I'm really sorry for what I did.
Ame-miya.
What?
What?
My real name is Ame-miya.
I see.
Actually, I heard another
story from the neighbor.
Come to think of it, Mr. Katabuchi
moved out a little while ago.
I saw something strange
in the middle of the night.
Look.
You can see Mr. Katabuchi's
house from the window in my house.
In the middle of the night, someone
was standing by the window.
I think he was about this tall.
I thought it was a
relative's child or something.
Later, I asked the
neighbor's wife.
She said, he wasn't wearing it.
Then, was it a ghost?
A ghost?
I borrowed a picture
for the time being.
It doesn't look good.
Yeah.
...
What I saw was my brother.
I see.
Your brother was
in the video I saw.
I see.
I've already heard about it.
I want to ask you this.
It's a picture of himself.
It's the same
picture from before.
I think it was the same
picture from the beginning.
I'd like to talk to
you about that.
Oh, that's nice.
Mr. Kurehara, we have a visitor.
Could you lend
me your help again?
Please.
A ransom?
Well, it's just that...
According to Miyae's and
Yuzuki's story, Ayano's sister
and her husband built a
house in Saitama four years ago.
They moved to
Tokyo two years later.
At this point, Hiroto
is only one year old.
So the sister and her husband
were born when they lived in Saitama.
Before Hiroto was born,
three people lived in Saitama.
Keita-san, Ayano-san, and...
The unidentified masked man.
he was called A-kun.
The sister and her husband put A-kun
in the children's room on the second floor.
Then another family was born.
It was Hiroto's birthday.
This triangle room
was made for Hiroto.
A children's room?
It has a big window
and a nice sunlight.
But... this family
has another face.
...
two dead bodies
near two houses.
Maybe it's your sister's doing.
Is it a murder family?
Kurihara-san.
My sister is a very kind person.
She can't do that.
It's all a delusion.
Anyway, there's no other clue.
Honke.
If we go to the main house
in Katabuchi, we might
find out something about
my sister's whereabouts.
The main house?
It's just that when I was little, I went
to stay with my family a few times.
It was a very creepy house.
Oh, creepy?
That's right.
I think it was this
kind of curtain.
This is certainly
a strange curtain.
There's a corridor
straight from the entrance,
and the house is
divided into two parts.
There's a big altar at
the end of the corridor.
And none of these four
rooms have windows, right?
I heard that my parents lived here
for a while before they got married.
My mother might know
something about this house.
About this house.
And about my sister.
I'm Yoshie, the mother.
I'm a volunteer to
support homeless people.
We'll be back soon.
Please take this with you.
Thank you.
Please be careful
not to drop it.
Mom.
Mom.
Do you have any information
about my sister's body?
Not really.
I guess you should not worry,
but... What about her real family?
Your parents had to live at that
house when you married them, right?
Have you noticed that?
Nothing special, really.
Mom, you know
something, don't you?
Please, tell me a clue.
If you don't tell me anything,
I'll tell the whole family.
Stop it!
It's okay.
There's something in
that house, isn't there?
This... is the
notebook your father left.
Your father...
didn't die in an accident.
What?
Masukawa...
Why?
What happened to your father?
Does it have anything
to do with your sister?
That man... was in
a house in Kataguchi.
He was cursed.
He was cursed that day.
Everything about Ayamo...
please forget about it.
I think... I'll go
to the main house.
My sister might be there.
you two can stop here.
But... Amemiya...
you've been in danger
before, haven't you?
As your mother said...
if you get involved with
the main family any further...
it might be irreversible.
I'll be fine on my own.
No.
I'll go with you.
If you come this far...
you'll have to
finish the video.
Amemiya...
leave him to me.
I can't leave you...
on this shallow path... you
must change your lifestyle...
and go a different way...
and you'll be safe...
above the valley.
...
I hope everything goes well.
I feel the same way,
could you get some rest?
Forgotten things?
Hey, what are you doing?
Please don't come
in without permission.
Please stop!
What is this?
I had a strange feeling.
The key to find Ayano's whereabouts
might be in the main house.
But you were so stubborn that you didn't
want to involve Izuki in the main house.
Moreover, you used something
like this to warn Amemiya-san.
This seems to be a
hallucinogenic drug.
What exactly is
in the main house?
The Katabuchi family originally found
the drug in several classes and had a large
number of servants
in the main house.
The main house and the surrounding mountains
are all part of the Katabuchi family.
Most of the people living there
are also Katabuchi's spirits.
Camera.
I'll turn it on.
Yes.
This is Yuzuki.
Um...
Excuse me.
Sis?
It's pretty big.
Big?
Yes.
Sis...
isn't here either.
If you look at the window
display, this is the 3rd floor.
This is the 4th floor.
The guests who have been here for a
long time are taken into the next room.
The next room...
is the 2nd room.
If you open this,
it's the 1st room.
Huh?
This is an unopened closet.
It's been like this
for a long time.
It's not convenient.
Well, it doesn't seem to
be a problem to sleep in it.
It's kind of creepy.
It's creepy and...
there's also a weird
rumor in this area.
Rumor?
A few years ago, it seems there
have been a few disappearances.
It looks like they
suddenly disappeared.
Among them, there's
someone who visited this house.
Huh?
In other words,
it's a secret home?
You disappeared in this house?
Sister...
I'm sorry.
My grandfather, my
grandmother... and Mr. Kiyotsugu.
Well... I'm
sorry to interrupt.
My name is Amemiya.
When I said I wanted to
move to Honkei... he said yes.
Sister... where
have you been?
Where?
I've been in
Honkei all this time.
But the other day...
I've been in
Honkei all this time.
Where are the children?
Where is Hiroto-chan?
The children?
You must be Mr.
Yuzuki.
I'm Keita, your husband.
Nice to meet you.
Both of you...
take your time.
Sister...
Sister...
Amemiya-san...
and Kurihara-san...
I'm glad you noticed.
You must have
taken some medicine.
Medicine?
Why are you here, Kurihara-san?
Actually, just now...
I heard a story from
Ms. Yuzuki's mother.
A terrible story... about
the Kat abuchi family.
In the Meiji era...
the Katabuchi
family...had a mistress.
Her name was Ushi-o Takama.
Ushi-o was comfortable...
with the main master
of the Katabuchi family...
and she took care of the
children...and became a mistress.
Because she received a harsh abuse...
from the master, and her wife...
she couldn't take it.
and became miscarried.
Ushio, who had lost his mind...
cut off his left wrist... and died.
But the tragedy
didn't end there.
After that... the
child who was born...
...
had lost his left wrist.
And then he collapsed...
and died one after another.
Was it Ushio's curse?
So the master... required
advice from a priest.
And the priest...
to pay for Ushio's sins...
committed a ritual of
left-handed prost ration.
He took the blood of the Kata-Buchi
family ...and raised a boy...
who had never seen the
light of day since he was born.
When the boy turned 10...
he killed a human...
cut off his left wrist...
and offered it to
the spirit of Ushio.
and let Ushio die.
He finished this in 3 years.
But Kata-Buchi... never
could approach him.
Left-handed prostration?
If the story is true...
he would have committed.
Excuse me.
There may be a space
in the wall like this.
I didn
't know there was
a passage like this.
This must be the back route.
Then this is the other side.
This is the second room.
If this passage was used in the old
disappearance incident, it would explain.
Let's investigate the
other side in detail.
Please be careful.
We are now in the darkness
of a person we must not touch.
If we step in any further,
it may be irre versible.
There may be a
sister in the back.
If we don't go into the darkness,
we won't know what's in the darkness.
I will not go in.
Then this is the other room.
It must have been
in the other direction.
I will not come in.
This
is the third room.
I am sorry.
If it is in this
direction, see you later.
It was the spring of my
third year of high school.
I was saved by
my new girlfriend.
She became
everything in my life.
I never met Ayano
outside of school.
She didn't tell me about her
family or anything personal.
I heard about Kuyo
on the left hand.
It was just before graduation.
I was so separated from reality.
I couldn't believe it at first.
But I didn't want to
break up with Ayano.
I wanted to help her.
So I married her.
I asked her to marry
me in Katabuchi.
Then I met Touya.
We started raising him.
One day, I wanted to save him
from the fate of Kuyo on the left hand.
That's what Ayano thought.
So we decided to
carry out our plan.
We set up a house in Saitama under
the condition of Kuyo on the left hand.
We started living with
Touya and the three of us.
After that, Hiroto was born.
He was always being
watched by the family.
But we...
became like a real family.
After all...
we were all taken
back to our real family.
Hiroto was taken and we
couldn't even confront him.
And then he was bees waxed.
It was just a sleeping Better.
And then...
the little girl...
I wonder if that's
really the case.
This hole in the
child's room floor...
I thought it was a secret
route made for murder...
but there was actually
another intention behind it.
Another intention?
This hole could
be a hiding place.
To hide Touya and prevent him
from being taken back to the family.
In other words...
this mysterious space...
was a shelter to hide Touya.
Sister...
Hirano!
Hirano!
Hirano!
What's going on?
Things suddenly sound like
an important civil war moment.
Ested, Mr Tur ih aru!
He farted.
To h ya...
Where is he?
Left... act...
What are you doing?
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
Tou ya!
Tenda-san!
Don't do it!
Your leg...
Your leg!
Tenda-san!
Tenda-san!
Get out of here!
Tenda-san!
Please!
Please!
Alright.
This time...
Come on!
This is the
continuation of the Kuyo.
I did it!
What
do you mean by Kuyo on the left?
Do you really believe
in such stupid things?
There's no way there's a curse!
Everyone's been
brainwashed and become crazy.
That's the curse.
The curse is to control
people's minds with fear.
Everyone here has
been brainwashed.
By doing that, there are
people who can be saved!
Unlike them, I want money.
It's my property.
That's why I'm
obeying that idiot Toshu.
As long as there are people who can
be saved, there will be more money!
You're the worst.
In the end, you're
just murderers!
Well... I'm probably wrong too.
Alright...
Pray for me too!
Pray for me too!
Pray for me too!
I can't stop praying!
I will never pray!
I will never pray!
Amemiya-san...
Then...
die.
Am emi ya-san!
Butlabara!
Mami...
There's a temple
on that mountain.
Huh?
Mami's gone!
M ami!
I got .
Butleusa!
W-W Working album.
It's been a while now.
Furthermore, several old bodies
were found in the basement.
It seems that the left wrist was
cut off from all of those bodies.
Keita-san is missing
without finding any bodies.
Four years ago, Keita-san
and I took Toya with us.
I started living in a
house in Saitama.
But...
the day of my left-hand
labor was approaching.
I had a relationship
with Mr. Miyai.
That day...
we made a promise to meet.
But when we asked
him... Mr. Miyai...
...
he had a heart attack.
He cut off his left wrist...
and put it in his house.
The following year...
I thought it was impossible
to carry out the next labor.
I lied to him and
tried to escape.
But...
the second left
wrist was in his house.
I thought he knew.
I thought it was possible...
to try to explain.
But...
I wasn't sure.
I didn 't want to be involved
with... the right - hand labor.
I thought it would be better...
to try to explain...
My daughter was
crying all the time.
Touya was worried.
He broke the rule not
to come out of the room.
What the neighbor saw
was the scene at that time.
It was a strange house.
But this house had the love
of a very important family.
Until Keita comes back, we'll
wait for him with the whole family.
Thank you both so much.
No.
We got something good, too.
Thank you very
much, Amemiya-san.
Well, see you somewhere.
What is it?
The house?
After all, we don't know
what Madori is up to.
I think I'll leave
that house to you.
What a waste.
I can't believe I can't make
such a big deal out of it.
That's enough.
Each house has its own secret.
Well, well, well.
Then I'll buy you
something else.
Oh, you bought this?
How much is it?
No.
Well, sometimes.
No way.
A treat?
From that stupid Kurihara-san?
- If you don't need it...
- Oh, let's eat.
I'll put in some coffee.
I heard something just now.
Speaking of which, Amemiya-san.
This house...
What about Madori?
Mom.
It's almost time, isn't it?
I'm leaving this year.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of it for you.
Could it be...
The sound just now was...
