J-Horror, for better or worse, is still alive and kicking, and if anyone has a chance to breathe some life into the films coming out of the Far East, it’s legendary director Hideo Nakata.

The official The Incite Mill website opened its doors a while back, and other than it being home to some really loud and annoying Flash animation (which seems to be all the rage these days in Japan), you’ll also find (providing you have the patience) the original uber-dramatic trailer for the film as well. Mind you, the trailer shows pretty much nothing at all, but wow, is it rousing in a “Pay attention to me, damn it!” kind of way.

The pic, which is a based on an eponymous bestseller by Honobu Yonezawa, tells a “Big Brother”-ish tale of 10 people who hire on for a “job” paying $1,200 per hour, only to find themselves locked in an underground complex and forced to play a murder game for seven days.
