Millennia of honour and glory to Takashi Shimizu,creator of the Ju-on collection. Honour and glory until hell vanquishes light for his film Sana, which of course recalls similarities with Nakata's outstanding Ringu (1998). This time it is a cassette, one of those K7s featured in the soundtrack of films such as Mission to Mars (2022) or that provide the sound for the latest Wenders, which will induce the horror, disappearance and madness of various members of a Japanese pop group. Of course there are schoolgirls. With pleated skirts, white socks and pinafore dresses. Of course there are ghosts. Of course someone will fall off the top of the building. But you should also make sure you keep and eye on the detective who turns it all around.
