A vengeful ghost called the Mag Mag haunts local boys, leaving behind a trail of mysterious and violent deaths. When Sanae’s beloved crush becomes the spectre’s latest victim, she decides to embark on a quest for revenge. Through a series of interconnected chapters, Sanae investigates the ghost’s origins, unraveling the tangled web between victims, and discovers darker truths about who truly deserves her vengeance.
Celebrated comedian Yuriyan Retriever’s directorial debut is a wild ride of a horror-comedy that balances genuine scares with Retriever’s signature absurdist humor. A biting and wickedly funny take on the ghost story genre that honors and subverts J-horror conventions with savage glee.
“J-horror tropes are turned on their head in this gleefully subversive comedy-horror from director and comedian Yuriyan Retriever.”
