3.9 / 10 · TMDB

From the moment she and her fellow students arrive in the mountain village of Yasaka, Mikoto knows that there is something very wrong with this tiny town. Can it really be true that, for 50 years, not a single girl has been born in this isolated community? Despite the fact that Mayor Amano and the other all male residents have enthusiastically welcomed her and the other three coeds attending Professor Ashihara’s overnight seminar, Mikoto can’t shake the sense of increasing dread that consumes her. Something horrible has happened here. Something that is about to happen again. Because the town has been waiting for her. And the other girls. From the pages of the hit online manga published in Web Comic Gamma, the nightmare is about to begin!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs dread through the dissonance between serene landscapes and deepening unease, relying on its folk horror premise. It explores gender anxieties through a visceral thriller lens, where social commentary fuels bodily terror.

What lingers after viewing is the chilling plausibility of its isolation-born madness, delivered with unflinching grotesquery. A grim reminder of how easily tradition can curdle into nightmare. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Hideo Jojo
