In the serene marshlands of rural Japan, the innocence of childhood is shattered when a five-year-old girl’s playful exploration leads to a tiny scratch on her finger. From that moment, a malevolent force takes hold, twisting her tiny body into violent, inexplicable spasms and leaving her parents helpless as they watch their daughter become a vessel for something unspeakable. As the symptoms escalate and medical explanations fail, a chilling truth begins to emerge from the mud and mist—a curse that refuses to let go. Directed with masterful restraint by Yoshitarô Nomura, this 1980 slow-burn horror weaves a tapestry of psychological dread and visceral terror, proving that the most horrific monsters are the ones that grow inside the ones we love.

User Reviews
“I went in expecting a typical J-horror, but this one really got under my skin. The slow build of the girl's affliction and the parents' desperation felt painfully real. The scene where her tongue is bitten had me covering my eyes.”
“It's a solid 70s/80s Japanese horror with a creepy atmosphere and a strong performance by the little girl. The ending left me with a sense of dread that I didn't expect. Not for those who need fast-paced scares, but if you like slow-burn dread, give it a shot.”
“I appreciate what Nomura was going for, but the pacing felt glacial at times. The horror is more psychological than visceral, and the scares are sparse. Still, the imagery is striking and the theme of innocence corrupted is powerful.”
“This film haunted me for days. The way the girl's suffering is portrayed with such realism made my stomach churn. The marsh setting, the mud, the tiny scratch—so simple, yet so horrifying. A must-watch for fans of folk horror and family trauma.”
