Reiko, the Psyche Resurrected

Reiko, the Psyche Resurrected (1991)

超少女REIKO

A highly anticipated cultural festival is less than a week away for the students of a local high school when mysterious, seemingly paranormal events start occurring within their building. A piano plays when no one is in the room; the power continually shuts off, seemingly at random; footprints are left behind by an unseen presence; objects appear to levitate and are hurled across the room. Concerned about the strange phenomena, six students, advised by Professor Yamakawa, form a research team and investigate the strange goings-on. One of the students is Reiko Kudo, who has ESP and a family history with the occult. As the investigation ensues, a disturbing story from the past emerges from the woodwork, culminating with an ESP confrontation on the day of the festival...

Interesting facts

Chōshōjo Reiko is a 1991 Japanese film written and directed by Takao Okawara.

Production

Prior to working on Chōshōjo Reiko, director Takao Okawara worked as an assistant director at Toho, often pitching ideas for a script that were ignored. Okawara decided to develop a story and enter it into a competition; he hoped that if he won, the story would get better attention from upper staff at Toho.

The film's cast included Arisa Mizuki, who was an unknown actress at the time and would be known as a supermodel by 2000. Okawara described the shooting of the film as difficult, stating that the film's low budget did not allow him to have a special effects director, making him perform both duties himself.
