Detailed description

The secret to the success of the [Whispering Corridors] franchise lies in death, our ultimate fear, being contrasted with the vividness of youth and a beautiful body in danger of being destroyed. Extreme competition and oppression are social issues that are merely added to it. Saku SAKAMOTO is the film’s director, screenwriter, animator, and composer. This is the director’s second solo feature-length project. His first feature film [ARAGNE: Sign of Vermillion] was also a horror movie about a young woman in a modern city. Like his previous work, an insect is connected to the mysterious deaths. The project’s strong production concept adds momentum to its distribution, a strategy worth paying attention to. LEE Kyunghwa
