HACHI

Based on a true story from Japan, Hachi is a film about loyalty and the rare, invincible bonds
that occasionally form almost instantaneously in the most unlikely places.

In the modern day, a class full of young students are giving oral presentations about personal
heroes. A boy named Ronnie stands up and begins to tell of 'Hachiko', his grandfather's dog.
Years before, an Akita puppy is sent from Japan to the United States, but his cage falls off the
baggage cart at an American train station, where he is found by college professor Parker Wilson.
Parker is instantly captivated by the dog. When Carl, the station controller, refuses to take him,
Parker takes the puppy home overnight. His wife Cate is insistent about not keeping the puppy.

The next day, Parker expects that someone will have contacted the train station, but no one
has. He sneaks the pup onto the train and takes him to work, where a Japanese college
professor, Ken, translates the symbol on the pup's collar as 'Hachi', Japanese for 'good
fortune', and the number 8. Parker decides to call the dog 'Hachi'. Ken points out that perhaps
the two are meant to be together. Parker attempts to play fetch with Hachi, but he refuses to
join in. Meanwhile Cate receives a call about someone wanting to adopt Hachi. After seeing how
close her husband has come to Hachi, however, Cate tells the caller that Hachi has already been
adopted. A few years later, Hachi and Parker are as close as ever. Parker, however, is still
mystified by Hachi's refusal to do normal, dog-like things like chase and retrieve a ball. Ken
advises him that Hachi will only bring him the ball for a special reason. One morning, Parker
leaves for work and Hachi sneaks out and follows him to the train station, where he refuses to
leave until Parker walks him home. That afternoon, Hachi sneaks out again and walks to the train
station, waiting patiently for Parker's train to come in. Eventually Parker relents and walks Hachi
to the station every morning, where he leaves on the train to go to his work as professor. Hachi
leaves after Parker's safe departure, but comes back in the afternoon to see his master's train
arrive and walk with him home again. This continues for some time, Hachi doing this every day,
until one afternoon Parker attempts to leave, but Hachi barks and refuses to go with him. Parker
eventually leaves without him, but Hachi chases him, holding his ball. Parker is surprised but
pleased that Hachi is finally willing to play fetch the ball with him. Worried that he will be late
for the college, Professor Parker leaves on the train despite Hachi barking at him. At work that
day Parker, still holding Hachi's ball, is teaching his music class when he suddenly suffers a fatal
heart attack.

At the train station, Hachi waits patiently as the train arrives, but there is no sign of Parker.
He remains, lying in the snow, for several hours, until Parker's son-in-law Michael (Ronnie
Sublett) comes to collect him. The next day, Hachi returns to the station and waits, remaining all
day and all night. As time passes, Cate sells the house and Hachi is sent to live with her daughter
Andy (Sarah Roemer), Michael, and their new baby Ronnie. However, at the first opportunity, he
escapes and eventually finds his way back to his old house and then to the train station, where
he sits at his usual spot, eating hot dogs given to him by Jasjeet, a local vendor. Andy arrives
soon after and takes him home, but lets him out the next day to return to the station.

For the next nine years, Hachi waits for his owner. His loyalty is profiled in the local
newspaper. Years after Parker's death, Cate comes back to visit Parker's grave when she
catches sight of Hachi, now old and achy, waiting at the station. She gets emotional and sits next
to Hachi until the next train comes. Hachi returns to the train station late at night and closes
his eyes for the last time. Then, Parker walks out of the station and greets him as if nothing has
changed at all, and the two reunite as their spirits rise up to Heaven to be together forever.
 The film then shows Ronnie, back in his classroom, making his conclusion of why Hachi will
forever be his hero. Ronnie's story has clearly moved the class, with some holding back tears.
After school, Ronnie sees his own Akita puppy, also named Hachi, walk down the same tracks
where Parker and Hachi spent so many years together.

The closing cards reveal information about the real Hachikō, who was born in Ōdate in 1923.
After the death of his owner, Hidesaburo Ueno, in 1925, Hachikō returned to the Shibuya train
station the next day and every day after that for the next nine years. The final card reveals
that the real Hachikō died in 1934 (in fact, he died in 1935). A photo of his statue in the
Shibuya train station is the last image shown before the credits roll.

Renai and Josh Lambert have recently moved into a

new house with their three children. One morning,
Renai looks through a family photo album with her son,
Dalton, who asks why there are no pictures of Josh
when he was a child. Renai reasons that he has always
been camera shy. One day, Dalton hears something in
the attic and goes to investigate. He sees something
that scares him and falls when the attic ladder
breaks. The next day, Dalton does not awaken from
sleep. Renai and Josh rush him to the hospital, where
the doctors say he is in an inexplicable coma.

Three months later, Dalton is moved back to his

home while still in a coma. Shortly after, disturbing
events begin to occur. Renai believes the house is
haunted when she begins to see and hear other people
in the house. She confronts Josh about the events
and the family soon moves to another house. In the
new house, increasingly violent and supernatural events reoccur. Josh's mother, Lorraine,
contacts a friend, Elise Reiner, who specializes in the investigation of paranormal activity. The
family, Elise, and her team enter Dalton's room and Elise sees and describes a figure to one of
her two assistants, who draws a black figure with a red face and dark hollow eyes on the ceiling
of Dalton's room.
 Elise explains to Renai and Josh that Dalton has the ability to astral project while sleeping
and that he has been doing it since he was very young. The reason that Dalton is in a comatose
state is because he has fearlessly travelled too far into different spiritual worlds (he believes
the projections are dreams) and has consequently become lost in a land called "The Further"—
the land is a place for the tormented souls of the dead. While Dalton's spirit is in this other
world, he has left nothing but a lifeless body. The tormented souls crave another chance at life
through Dalton's state, while the demon has a malicious intent. However, for a spirit to consume
a body, a period of time and energy are required.

Skeptical at first, Josh later relents when he discovers Dalton had been drawing pictures
which resemble the demonic figure Elise described. They run a session to try to communicate
with Dalton where the demon uses Dalton's body to fight the group, along with 3 other spirits
who want Dalton's body. After the session, Elise calls Lorraine and the two reveal to the couple
that Josh also can astral project, and was terrorized by an evil spirit during his childhood.
Lorraine shows them pictures from Josh's childhood, revealing a shadowy old woman going
nearer and nearer to Josh in each picture, which explains his fear of photos, and Elise suggested
that Lorraine stop taking of photos of him. Elise suggests that Josh should use his ability to find
and help return Dalton's soul, to which Josh agrees.

Josh projects himself into The Further, finds and frees his son, who had been captured by
the red-faced demon. In search of their physical bodies, Josh and Dalton flee the demon that is
pursuing them. Just before the two awaken, Josh abandons his son to confront the shadowy old
woman who appears to be inside his house. As he shouts for her to get away from him, she
retreats into the darkness. Moments later, Josh and Dalton both awaken, just as all the spirits
vanish.

With the family now happily reunited, Renai, Dalton and Lorraine chat in the kitchen as Elise
and Josh pack up from the long night. Josh hands Elise the pictures from his childhood, and as
she takes them from his hands, she senses something and takes a picture of Josh. He promptly
goes into a rage, claiming she knows that he doesn't like to get photographed, and chokes her to
death. Renai hears Josh yelling and goes into the room to find Elise dead and Josh gone. She
searches for Josh and comes across Elise's camera. When she looks at the camera, she sees a
picture of an old woman. It's revealed that what Elise saw was Josh's old and dirty hand and
nails, similar to the old woman's, implying that she has possessed him. Josh then puts his hand on
Renai's shoulder, and she is horrified to see what is behind her.

After the post-credits, the shadowy, old woman can be seen blowing out a candle.

SITI FARIDAH
Mirrors

The film begins with a security guard running through a subway station. The guard eventually
enters a room he cannot escape from and starts begging his reflection in a mirror for his life.
Suddenly, his reflection cuts its throat with a mirror shard, killing the "real" security guard.

Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland), a suspended police detective, begins his first day as a night
security guard at the Mayflower, a luxury department store that was gutted by a fire and shuttered
for close to a decade. The building still contains numerous mirrors from the store.

On Ben's first night of patrol he finds a mirror that appears to be covered with handprints, but
only on the reflected side of the glass. He sees an open door in the reflection while it is actually
closed. Over time, Ben begins to see more intense visions, which he initially shrugs off as
hallucinations. He soon finds the wallet of Gary Lewis, the previous night guard (who died at the
beginning of the film). Inside is a note that says "Esseker". After viewing Gary’s crime photos Ben is
convinced that the mirrors make people do things to themselves that they are not actually doing.

Meanwhile, Ben's sister, Angela (Amy Smart) is killed by her reflection as it grips its jaw and slowly
pull its mouth apart, causing her to bleed profusely. Ben is distraught when he finds her body. In
anger, he attempts to destroy the mirrors at the Mayflower, but they are impervious to damage. He
demands to know what the mirrors want, and cracks appear on one of the mirrors, spelling out the
word "ESSEKER".

Ben enters the flooded basement of the Mayflower and finds a small sign stating "Psychiatric
Studies" and "St. Matthew's Hospital" underneath. He moves to the site of the leak and begins
pulling at the tiles and brick of the wall and finds a room with a chair surrounded by mirrors beyond
it, a Psychomanteum. Realizing that the Mayflower was built on the site of an earlier hospital, Ben
asks his police friend Larry (Jason Flemyng) to help him locate the patient-employee manifest for the
hospital. Larry finds the name Anna Esseker, a patient of the psychiatric hospital. She was twelve
years old at the time and died in a mass suicide.

Ben looks through Anna's file, and finds an Authorization and Consent form that negated her
Death Certificate, stating that she had been discharged from the hospital two days before the suicide
and is led to believe that Anna is still alive. Meanwhile, Ben's wife Amy (Paula Patton) discovers her
son Michael's (Cameron Boyce) reflection acting differently than the real Michael. She calls Ben in a
panic, who immediately returns home. Together they cover every reflective surface in the house with
green paint.

Ben locates Anna Esseker's childhood home, and discovers that as a child she was violent and
uncontrollable, and diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. She was taken in by a doctor from St.
Matthew’s Hospital, who believed that she was suffering from a rare personality disorder. His
treatment was to confine Anna to a chair surrounded by mirrors, believing this would cure her
disorder by forcing her to confront her own reflection. Ben is told by her brother that when she
returned, apparently cured, strange things started to happen with the mirrors in their home. As a
result her family sent her to a convent, Saint Augustine's Monastery, where mirrors are forbidden.

Ben visits the convent, and finds Anna (Mary Beth Peil), who explains that she was actually
possessed by a demon, which was drawn from her and became trapped in the mirrors. She explains
that it collects the souls of those it kills and if she were to return it would make it possible for the
demon to be brought back into the mortal world. She refuses to go back.

Meanwhile, Amy discovers that Michael is missing at home and a thin reflective layer of water is
completely covering the floor. After putting her daughter in a safe closet, she finds Michael using a
chef knife to scrape the paint from the mirrors. Amy tries to stop him but he escapes, obviously
possessed.

Having threatened her at gunpoint, Ben returns with Anna to the Mayflower and straps her into
the chair in the Psychomanteum. Back at Ben's house Michael is suddenly pulled through the water
on the floor by his reflection and begins to drown. At the Psychomanteum the lights begin to flicker
and the building begins to shake as the demons in the mirrors are released. They repossess Anna and
all the mirrors in the Mayflower explode. Simultaneously, Michael is released from the demon's grip
and Amy is able to pull him to safety. Ben is then attacked by the repossessed Anna. He manages to
kill her igniting a nearby gas line, setting off a huge explosion. The old building collapses, killing the
demon, and trapping Ben under the ceiling as he rushes toward the exit.

Ben pulls himself out of the rubble and stumbles his way out of the building. Policemen and
firemen are everywhere in the street, and a body is seen taken in a bag by paramedics, but nobody
notices Ben. He looks at the older security guard's name tag, and sees it is written backwards,
realizing everything is in reverse (like in a mirror). He comes upon a mirrored surface in the city and
fails to see his own reflection as he reaches out to touch it. He realizes that he was crushed to death
under the rubble and is now trapped in the mirror world: in the living world his hand appears as a
handprint on the glass surface.
