**Screenwriter**: Kiyoshi Kurosawa **Producers**: Ken Inoue, Seiji Okuda, Shun Shimizu, Atsuyuki Shimoda, Hiroshi Yamamoto One of the greatest, most gripping achievements in Japanese horror, and a dark mirror for our terminally online world. Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s shattering masterpiece from 2001 is beyond liminality, beyond dimension, giving us a despair and isolation decades ahead of its time while still rooting itself in the sound design and dread of David Lynch, along with the emotional high notes of Bernard Hermann’s scores for Hitchcock. At the turn of the millennium, a group of young people in Tokyo experience an increasing number of missing co-worker, technological breakdown and a mysterious website which asks: “Do you want to meet a ghost?” After the sudden deaths of several friends, three strangers explore a city that grows more empty by the day, and attempt to solve what lies within a forbidden room in an abandoned construction site, mysteriously sealed shut with red packing tape. **Accessibility Options**: Open Captions, Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
