Tales of the Unusual
A four-part anthology in the spirit of The Twilight Zone, this film opens with a group of commuters stranded at a rain-soaked train station, as one member of the group regales them with stories. The tales include: a group stranded in the mountains haunted by guilt over a death they inadvertently caused; an emotionally broken chessmaster pressed into playing a real-life game for an eccentric millionaire; a wandering medieval samurai who discovers a modern-day cell phone on the ground with a voice on the other end asking questions about the past; and a young couple who agree to try a computer simulation of what their future as husband and wife would be like.
