We screened this short at the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in San Diego. We also had the immense pleasure of speaking with the filmmaker, Pablo Absento, who flew all the way form Japan to be in attendance.

Japanese influenced horror about a ghost/demon hunting a man who has just received bad news. His day is getting worse! Good effects help to raise the tension combined with excellent cinematography, make this film a great experience. There is clearly more to this story, which we would love to see filmed and according to the filmmaker, it appears that there is another film in the works. What helps this film is the borrowing of classic Japanese horror element, but wrapping it up in a modern "western" way of storytelling.

Sometimes in horror, especially of the supernatural variety, it is what you don't see more than what you do see and this film is no exception to that rule. The creep factor really is in the stuff you don't get to directly witness.

It is definitely worth watching. We are definitely going to be on the lookout for more.

A man who has been doing work without fail for years is fired by his boss. He is on a walking bridge and spies a hideous figure, dragging a body. The body looks like him. The thing has the ability to move in quick motions. Our guy tries to escape and gets to his apartment, but they won't let him in. Pretty intense.

A man on a bridge in one of his bad days. a call. a frighting image. and the consequences. result - a decent short film. its basic virtue - the use of Japanese cultural reference, the mix of the story of an ordinary man with Asian landscapes, the picture of family, the right use of tension and the horror , remembering Japaneses movies of genre, giving the personal mark. short, fascinating. in high measure, for the Japaneses influences.
