For its premiere at the Film4 Frightfest All-Nighter on October 30th, the UK trailer has just dropped for Tetsuya Nakashima’s revenge thriller….Confessions. While It’s much the same as the original Japanese version, but it does come with the added benefit of those ever handy English subs, but unlike Nakashima’s previous (and in our view genius) candy cane flights of fancy (‘Kamikaze Girls’ and ‘Memories Of Matsuko’) Confessions is heading down a far darker path, and it looks well worth the ride. Those of us not lucky enough to be heading to Frightfest can take heart in the fact Confessions will be released in UK cinemas by Third Window Films early in 2011.

Synopsis: Yuko Moriguchi, a middle-school teacher whose four-year-old daughter is found dead. Shattered, she finally returns to her classroom only to become convinced that two of her students were responsible for her daughter's murder. No one believes her, and she may very well be wrong, but she decides, nevertheless, that it's time to take her revenge. What happens next is all-out psychological warfare waged against her students in an attempt to force them into confessing what she knows in her heart to be true: they are guilty and must be punished.
