Voltage will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming Marché du film, June 21-25, 2021.
“Adapted from the novel published by Kobunsha and currently in post-production, the English-language J-Horror follows two female roommates who are tormented by the vengeful spirits dwelling in their gothic-style, rented apartment, which contains an ornate centerpiece.”
