'Malignant': A Fun, Wacky Horror with Feminist Undertones
Malignant is a roller coaster ride of slow-build scares, moments of wonderfully absurd camp, and explorations of autonomy.
Random Call
It has been a decade since Ryo (SHIBUYA Tensho) was a leading man in anything and it seems like he has been relegated to a bit part in his own life as he fails auditions and has lost contact with many people around him. A sudden phone call from an old friend introduces him to a social experiment called “Random Call,” the idea being to call people in the phone book and just meet them without any purpose other than to renew ties. With nothing to lose, Ryo tries out the concept himself and meets up with his former acquaintances and friends. As he begins reconnecting with people, his life is filled with human warmth and he finds himself both inspiring others and being inspired by them.
