World Apartment Horror (ワールド・アパートメント・ホラー, Wārudo apātomento horā) is a 1991 Japanese comedy horror film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, with a screenplay by Otomo and Keiko Nobumoto from a story by Satoshi Kon.[1] The film stars Sabu (credited as Hiroki Tanaka) as a yakuza henchman who encounters the language barrier and evil spirits in his attempts to evict a Tokyo apartment full of foreigners.

Sabu received the Best New Actor Award at the Yokohama Film Festival in 1992.[2][3] A manga adaptation by Kon was published by Kodansha, under the same title, on August 1, 1991.[2][4][5]
