Kubo, a young female university student, keeps noticing little disquieting oddities in the block of flats where she lives. With the help of a horror story writer who draws inspiration from the letters of her fans, she sets out to discover the dark secret of the place. In his latest box office hit, Yoshihiro NAKAMURA returns to the J­horror genre and unfolds a genuine archeology of the uncanny.
