Event Info
(Masaki Nishiyama, Japan 2025, 106 mins, English subtitles)
Having just moved to a rural, Japanese town, Elena (Lisa Siera), a ‘half’ Japanese high schooler, feels out of place because of her foreign appearance and name. Troubled by a sense she doesn't belong, Elena struggles under the constant attention of those around her. She soon discovers that she is also being watched by something else—a monster that can only be seen through her smartphone and heard through her earphones. Elena’s life will change forever when the invisible monster begins its hunt.
Sitting outside of the usual J-Horror norm, this engrossing chiller delivers an unfamiliar and refreshing look at cultural identity, lending the main character a rare emotional depth as it follows her through this supernatural horror story.With a hint of It Follows, there are some great set pieces and features VFX work from the talent behind Godzilla Minus One.
