A dream home turns into a deadly nightmare when the Kamikis face the ghost of a murdered girl.

Turning their lifelong dream into something real, the Kitakis finally manage to buy a place in the countryside. What they don’t know is that it houses a supernatural terror in the form of the ghost of a murdered girl, and that they must uncover a dark truth to keep their perfect home. 

Director Koji Shiraishi (Noroi) continues to prove why he’s been at the forefront of J-Horror for decades with House of Sayuri, which sees him tackle the haunted house trope, blending humor and horror in the most effective of ways. Based on a manga by Rensuke Oshiriri, this brilliant and bold film delights in short footing the audience, constantly changing its tone and tactics in a frightening, playful tale that will appeal to all the horror fans who can appreciate a bit of humor and a subversive director on top of his game.
