Nursing student Asuka has just moved into an apartment complex with her parents and younger brother. On the first night in her new room, she is awoken by a strange scratching sound coming from the apartment of her neighbor, a reclusive old man who has refused all attempts at communication. Concerned over his well being, Asuka enters his home only to find him dead from malnutrition. Worse, it looks as if he had been trying to claw his way into her room. Asuka learns that there have been a number of strange deaths in the complex over the years from Shinobu, the handyman cleaning up the old man’s apartment. Even the girls at school whisper rumors of it being haunted.

Director Keijiro Miura constructs dread not through gore, but through the slow escalation of domestic unease, relying on Japanese folklore about cursed dwellings. The film explores the fear of the neighboring wall, behind which an inexplicable threat may lurk.
What lingers after viewing is a chilling, methodical atmosphere of anxiety, where even daytime scenes feel pierced by a sense of being watched. The ordinary sounds of an apartment building may never feel innocent again. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch alone late at night with the lights dimmed. Perfect for fans of slow-burn, atmospheric horror.
