Description
Cast: Haruhiko Katô, Kumiko Aso, Koji Yakusho. A ghost story for the dial-up era, this eerie J-horror classic imagines the online world as a portal between the dead and the living. In Tokyo, young people are going missing, as a group of college students are drawn to a website asking “do you want to meet a ghost?” Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s prescient techno-chiller was among the first artworks to recognize the internet as the Pandora’s box of our time.
