This short felt like a brother or a sister of PULSE or CURE but next level ambiguity that does bothered me in a positive way. It’s deliciously ambiguous horror that kept me hooked till the end. The way it’s directed, framed and edited is already creepy. Is this film about a fear of the unknown (other worldly)? Or is this talking about a delusional man or a mentally unstable man who can’t distinguish between reality and illusion? Or is this about a lonely failed guy who is imagining certain scenarios from the beginning till the end and past trauma is haunting him?  Whatever it might be, it’s an ambiguous film (Open to many interesting interpretations) that is done well as opposed to pretentious ambiguity. Kiyoshi rarely or never disappoints.
