In Sion Sono’s hauntingly surreal masterpiece, a teenage girl named Noriko flees her fractured home to join an enigmatic online community led by the charismatic Kumiko. What begins as a search for belonging spirals into a nightmarish exploration of identity, connection, and the terrifying consequences of collective delusion when a chain of mass suicides rocks the nation. Blending visceral horror with profound philosophical unease, the film traps you in a dreamlike haze where reality and fiction blur, and every confrontation with family and self becomes a chilling mirror of our own digital age. Bold, unsettling, and visually striking, Sono’s film is a slow-burning descent into the abyss of the human psyche that lingers long after the final frame.
User Reviews
“This movie is a mind-bender. I loved the surreal atmosphere and the way it explores how online communities can warp reality. Some scenes were really creepy, and the ending left me thinking for days. Definitely not for everyone, but if you like slow-burn existential horror, give it a try.”
“I appreciate what Sion Sono was trying to do, but it felt too artsy and slow for my taste. The mass suicide thing was shocking, but I wanted more actual scares. The acting was decent, but I couldn't really connect with any of the characters. It's interesting, but it didn't fully land for me.”
“A dark, poetic nightmare. Sono masterfully blends family drama with horror, and the plot twists are insane. I was glued to the screen, even though it's long. The scenes with the 'family' were incredibly disturbing. If you're into Japanese extreme cinema, this is a must-watch.”
“It's a strange and haunting film that really got under my skin. The atmosphere is oppressive, and there's this constant sense of dread. I liked the themes about alienation, but the nonlinear storytelling confused me at times. Still, it's memorable and worth a watch for horror fans who want something different.”
