Synopsis
Following a car accident during which they run someone over and then flee the scene, two students will end up experiencing the afterlife firsthand. Nakagawa devoted three years to conceiving this film, searching for a unique representation of hell.

Sixties J-Horror that combines the supernatural with gore, and drama with surrealism. 4K restored copy.
