Synopsis

Riko leads a quiet life with her roommate. But one day, while browsing a social network similar to Instagram, she discovers several strange and cryptic videos posted by a Taiwanese friend of hers. Around the same time, a disfigured corpse appears in Taiwan. Riko discovers that Shufen died six months earlier, but her social media accounts are still being updated. A superb reformulation of J-Horror by one of the rising stars in Japanese fantastic filmmaking.
