Teketeke

is a 2009 Japanese supernatural horror film directed by Kōji Shiraishi and written by Takeki Akimoto. Based on the Japanese urban legend known as Teke Teke, which concerns the vengeful ghost of a schoolgirl whose body was cut in half by a train, the film stars Yuko Oshima, Mami Yamasaki, and Mai Nishida. It was followed by a sequel, Teketeke 2, which was released the same year. Plot In Nagoya, an office worker named Hiromi Shimizu walks home at night, taking a path along an overpass near a train station. She feels a sudden wind, hears a scuttling sound and is chased by an unseen fast-moving entity. She manages to hide from the threat and overhears children in a nearby building arguing over the specifics of an urban legend. As she steps onto the road, the wind picks up again, and the entity slices her in half at the waist. Sometime later, schoolgirl Kana Ohashi is asked by her best friend and classmate, Ayaka Sekiguchi, to ask soccer player Utsumi Keita out for her. Kana obliges, and Utsumi agrees to go on a date with Ayaka. The next day, Utsumi shows Kana and Ayaka a news report on his cell phone about the mysterious death in Nagoya. Utsumi recalls a story he heard in elementary school about Teke Teke, a ghost with no lower extremities. When individuals walk on the overpass at night, it is said that Teke Teke will chase after them (making a "teke teke" noise as she moves along the ground) and that if they look back, she will cut them in half.
