Tales from the Dead is a 2007 American horror film written, directed, and co-edited by Jason Cuadrado. It is an anthology of four ghost stories as told by Tamika, a strange young girl with the ability to communicate with the dead. The tales deal with loss, pain, and vengeance as the spirits who tell them attempt to put things right in the world of the living.

The film is notable for being a Japanese horror, shot entirely in Los Angeles, in the Japanese language with local Japanese actors. Cuadrado did not speak or understand any Japanese at the time of filming.[1]
