Devastated by this event, Ichirō’s wife kills herself and begins haunting their home. The crew then discovers that the grave belonged to Ichirō’s infant son, who had died tragically after accidentally falling into a furnace. When it came to the script, however, Fujiwara took several liberties, often elaborating on story elements that were only hinted at in the film.įor example, at one point in the movie, the fictional documentarians stumble upon a small grave. Fujiwara and his team used reference materials from this visit to create many of the objects and environments in the game. Unfortunately, a mysterious ghost traps the crew inside the late artist’s house, kicking off a series of paranormal events ultimately leading to their demise.īefore the film’s theatrical debut, Capcom sent Fujiwara to walk through the set and talk with the film’s director. According to legend, 30 years previously Ichirō hid several precious frescos somewhere inside his home, and the fictional film crew hope to uncover these lost treasures for a documentary. The gory horror flick centered on a small crew of documentarians who break into the abandoned country home of a famous artist named Ichirō Mamiya. At some point in the late ‘80s, Capcom began talking with Japanese film company Itami Productions about making a game based on the then-upcoming film Sweet Home.
