In this chilling revival of classic J-horror, director Ryota Kondo, mentored by genre legend Takashi Shimizu, reinvents analog unease with degraded VHS visuals. Keita (rising star Rairu Sugita) discovers a missing boy in the woods and soon receives a mysterious videotape from his estranged mother. Shockingly, it reveals the exact moment his brother vanished, resurfacing long-buried trauma. Seeking answers, Keita, his roommate, and a female reporter journey to a forgotten mountain ruin absent from maps. Using tension over cheap scares, Kondo crafts a precise, minimalistic tale of creeping dread—an inventive and quietly terrifying experience that stands as one of the freshest J-horror entries in years.
