An indie horror anime. Two decades ago it was almost unimaginable that one person would be able to make an animated film on his own, but thanks to the efforts of Shinkai (and the rise of the computer) a person dedicated enough can make it happen. What these films lack in technical prowess, they often make up for with their singular and unique visions.

Three girls are on their way home. A little detour takes them to an abandoned apartment building. Weird stories circulate about the place, and these stories seem to have some truth to them. There's a strange presence roaming around, and the building itself turns out to be a portal to another dimension.

The setup is relatively basic, then again this is a horror anime. It's all about the creature designs, and they don't disappoint in the slightest. The animation isn't superfluid, but the horror scenes are twisted enough and there's some nice lore to explore. The pacing and runtime are also just perfect, making this prime horror filler.
