Hiruko the Goblin is a 1991 Japanese horror film directed by Shinya Tsukamoto. It stars Kenji Sawada as Reijiro Hieda, an archeologist who discovers an ancient burial mound underneath a high school. The burial mound was created to seal an evil yōkai, but has recently become unsealed. At the same time, a young student named Masao Yabe, played by Masaki Kudou, is tormented by fits of pain and strange markings on his back. Strange events ensue as it becomes clear that a yōkai named Hiruko may have been unsealed.

Adaptational Comic Relief: Heida was more of a stoic badass in the Youkai Hunter manga: in the movie he's a bumbling doofus.
