TWO DEGREES
Happiness of the Katakuris (2002)
カタクリ家の幸福

"The story begins with the family opening their guesthouse in the mountains behind the famous summer resort town of Karuizawa. After several quiet weeks without a single guest, their troubles begin when a group of passing psychics tell the Katakuris that their house is cursed and doomed. The next night, during a storm, the first guest arrives in the dark. A depressed and lonely man, he commits suicide in the room. Afraid that the notoiety could kill the business before it even starts, the family hastily buries the body in the woods behind the house. But the next guest ends up dead too, and the next one... Will the Katakuris find happiness together in their idyllic mountain guest home, despite all the bodies piling up in the backyard? Or will Fate expose their fumbling, bumbling attempts to hide the unfortunate little accidents?"
