A disfigured woman with her mouth slit like Heath Ledger's Joker kidnaps and kills children with big scissors. This Japanse urban legend was the inspiration for the 2007 horrorfilm Kuchisake-onna or The Slit-Mouthed Woman (also known as Carved) by Noroi- director Kôji Shiraishi. The film features a man and a woman hunting for the whereabouts of the evil, child-killing woman, who constantly asks people if she looks pretty, right before she kills them. In the series 'Asian Horror', TheSpringwoodSlasher shows the best horror films from countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, China or Thailand. TheSpringwoodSlasher, 2013
