Description
Cast: Mutsuo Yoshioka, Seiichi Kohinata, Hana Amano
Japanese maestro Kiyoshi Kurosawa returns to horror with a featurette that condenses his signature atmospheric approach to the genre. The inexplicability of the scenario is terrifying alone: a man hears a faint chime and is suddenly driven to murder. Uneasy and viscerally upsetting, Kurosawa’s nightmare in miniature packs a formidable punch.
