Japanese master director Takashi Miike, helmer of such past horrors as ‘Audition’ (AKA ‘Ôdishon’) and ‘One Missed Call’ (AKA ‘Chakushin ari’), returns to the genre with his new murderous feature ‘Lesson of the Evil’ (AKA ‘Aku no kyôten’). A new shocking trailer from the non-subtitled flick has reared its head which you can head below to check out. Based on the novel of the same name by Japanese author Yûsuke Kishi the flick centers on a teacher named Seiji Hasumi, played by Hideaki Itô, who’s mental condition leads him to murder his students one by one. Takayuki Yamada, Jab, Shôta Sometani, Fumi Nikaidô and Kento Hayashi all star. Check out the new trailer and full plot info below.
“‘Lesson of the Evil’ centers on a teacher named Seiji Hasumi who’s loved by his students and respected by his peers. However, his outward charm masks his true nature. In reality, Hasumi is a psychopath who is unable to feel empathy for other human beings. Specifically, he has a severe antisocial personality disorder. Because of his mental condition, Hasumi chooses to deal with problems like bullying and overbearing “monster parents” the easy way…by systematically murdering his students.”
