The Day of Destruction
Directed by Toshiaki Toyoda
Produced by Second Sight
A dark, paranoia-soaked horror-drama about a mysterious creature and the psychological plague it unleashes on a small town, grounded in spiritual exorcism and existential dread.
Seven years ago, a mysterious monster was found deep in a rural coal mine. Since then, rumors of a plague spread through the small town, and people experience an unexplainable mental illness. A young Shugendo practitioner goes missing only to resurface transformed, intent on exorcising the world from the monsters haunting it.
