The Honolulu International Film Festival added another film to its lineup today.

"Yamagata Scream" is a 2009 Japanese film with English subtitles. The festival, from April 3 through April 9, now has more than 20 acclaimed and award-winning films committed.

"Yamagata Scream" is a highly touted comedy-horror film about a lovelorn schoolteacher and her class of young high school girls who are visiting a rural countryside in search of a shrine rumored to help people find true love. What they don't know is that they are about to be caught in the middle of a battle between an undead samurai and the villagers he is determined to destroy. Stuck in the countryside and with limited cell phone reception, the rage of the undead can make you scream, and laugh. Directed by and starring Naoto Takenaka, who has "Shall We Dance," "Ping Pong" and "Azumi" among his credits.
