Atashi... KIRE !!!!!

CARVED a film which uses the Japan Mythology - Kuchisake-onna (口裂け女 Slit mouthed women) but the story is absolutely different compared to the mythology.

Trailer....



In the movie, it was said that the slit mouthed woman is being cut by her own child. According to the mythology, its about a woman, mutilated by a jealous husband, and returned as a malicious spirit bent on committing the same acts done to her.

The legend is said to originate with a young woman who lived hundreds of years ago (some versions of the legend state the Heian period) and was either the wife or concubine of a samurai. She is said to have been very beautiful but also very vain, and possibly cheating on her husband. The samurai, extremely jealous and feeling cuckolded, attacked her and slit her mouth from ear to ear, screaming "Who will think you're beautiful now?"

A modern tale stats that the women roams around at night(especially during foggy evenings), with her face covered by a surgicial mask and a coat. When she encounter someone primarily children or college students, she will shyly asked " Watashi kirei? " (am i preety ?) If the person answers yes, she will take off her mask and say, "Even like this?" At this point, if the victim answers "No," she will slay them (in many versions, her weapon is a pair of scissors). If the victim tells her she is pretty a second time, she follows the victim home and slays them in their own doorway due to the fact of the word "kirei"(preety) is almost same as "kire"(cut) if read.

In 70th, its was said that to get rid this women, u can answer "you're average" when asked by the women, by 20th, the answer was changed to "so-so" , this changes will cause the woman to think about what to do and you can buy some time to run away. Another way to escape is to present the Kuchisake-onna with amber, hard candy. Another is to say "pomade" three times (in some versions, six times). This will make her either falter and turn or run away. If the victim has pomade, they can write with it behind her back to keep her from following. The reason is rumored to be that this reminds her of either the dentist's or (plastic) surgery smells, or that her boyfriend used it.
