ミッシング・チャイルド・ビデオテープ

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Finding a missing child reminds Keita of his own brother’s disappearance of many years ago. A mysterious video sent by his mother prompts him to return to the case. Ryota KONDO’s feature film debut, produced by Takashi SHIMIZU, revives J-horror with spooky sound design and references to genre classics such as the films of Kiyoshi KUROSAWA.
