Ghost Theater (劇場霊 Gekijourei?) is a 2015 Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata and a remake of Don't Look Up (1996). It was released on November 21, 2015.
Sara (Haruka Shimazaki) is cast to play a small role in a stage play directed by Gota Nishikino (Mantaro Koichi). Aoi (Riho Takada) and Kaori (Rika Adachi) are the lead actresses and they prepare hard every day. Then, a female staff member is found dead in the theater. Aoi falls down and loses consciousness. Sara is then picked to takeover her lead role.
The film was part of the Midnight Passion section of the 20th Busan International Film Festival.
The film grossed ¥57.2 million on its opening weekend in Japan.
Maggie Lee of Variety said that "Hideo Nakata sinks to new lows with this creaky and vacuous backstage thriller."
