Reincarnation is a 2005 Japanese horror film, directed by Takashi Shimizu, of a hopeful actress who wins a role in a film that takes her, the cast and the crew to a hotel where the present soon collides with the past. Released as part of the six-volume J-Horror Theater. 35 years ago, a series of terrible murders took place in a tourist hotel. A college professor had apparently gone mad and, as part of his wish to understand reincarnation, filmed himself killing 11 of the hotel guests, employees and his own children. Then, he finally committed suicide. Since then, the footage of the murders... has disappeared. In the present day, horror movie director, Matsumura, decides to make a film about the massacre. As the date of the shoot draws near, Nagisa Sugiura, the actress who is set to star as the professor's daughter, is haunted by the ghosts of the victims. She begins to hallucinate and is plagued by nightmares of the killings. However, Nagisa is not the only person who has these visions. Another college girl has a vision that is similar to Nagisa's first visions of arriving just outside the hotel.
