Alors qu'Itta utilise tous les stratagèmes possibles et imaginables pour faire de la vie de ses cibles un véritable enfer, il va bientôt sentir qu'une force obscure semble effectivement habiter les lieux… Et celle-ci n'a pas franchement l'air d'avoir l'intention d'aider notre yakuza dans sa tâche. World Apartment Horror est le premier film "live" réalisé par le cinéaste et mangaka Katsuhiro Ootomo. L'histoire adapte le scénario du manga éponyme, réalisé dans les années 90 par Satoshi Kon.
