SYNOPSIS

An old man carries a mysterious swelling on his forehead, a grotesque protrusion that marks him as cursed or afflicted. When supernatural creatures emerge from the shadows one night, he finds himself caught between worlds: the human realm and something far stranger. What begins as a personal torment transforms into something larger as otherworldly forces intervene in his fate. The film blends Japanese folklore with silent-era action, creating an atmosphere where the mundane and the supernatural crash into each other. Gnarled demons, magical intervention, and the weight of supernatural debt drive the narrative forward. There's an edge of dark comedy threading through the horror, a sense that fate itself plays tricks on mortals.
