Missing Child Videotape (2024)
Directed by: Ryota Kondo
Genre: Horror, Mystery
The directorial debut of the rightful heir to J-horror introduces a new dimension, allowing you to experience the terror captured in a VHS tape left behind by a family.
So glad the movie gods are listening! They’re actually bringing back peak J-horror - no CGI, just excellent practical effects combined with the bleakness and eeriness reminiscent of Koji Shiraishi and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s styles from the ’90s and early 2000s. I’ve only seen the teaser so far, but I’m already excited! So many horror authors, like Junji Ito, Kurumu Akumu, Kawakami Juoku, and Matono Anji, have even praised and promoted this movie on X.
