Description
[Machine Translation] Chi-chan won't allow you to be happy in this house. Innocent malice uncovers the "poison" in a happy family and destroys everything in this home parasite horror film. This horror movie with an original screenplay was directed by Eisuke Naito, a brilliant director who has depicted the difficulties of teenagers' lives and their survival in such films as "MISUMISOU" and "The Forgiven Children" with sometimes vividness and sometimes poignancy. His films have been highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad for their approach, which combines entertainment and sociality while not only being inflammatory, but also delving into the pathologies of modern Japan. In this film, inspired by an incident involving a newlywed family that became a topic of conversation on an anonymous Internet message board in 2011, he depicts the relationship between a teenage girl and her stepmother, who becomes her new family member, as well as the fierce struggle between the mysterious girl and her family. Aimi Satsukawa, a talented actor who has captivated audiences in a variety of roles regardless of genre, plays the lead role and delicately and powerfully portrays the main character, Hagino, who confronts the innocent and malicious girl Chi-chan. The character of "poison girl" Chi-chan was designed by charismatic manga artist Shuzo Oshimi, who is known for his thorough depiction of the dark side of adolescent boys and girls in works such as "Evil Flower" and "Trail of Blood". The film's highlight is how the characters, who resonate with Naito's worldview and are drawn with his singular sensibility, are embodied in the film. --Hagino, her husband, and their daughter Moeka have moved into a second-hand house. Hagino, who has never been blessed with a family, dreams of a happy home. However, one day, while Hagino is out of the house, she receives a phone call from Moeka, who calls for help in a sad voice. Hagino rushes home to find her home in ruins, Moeka's clothes torn to shreds, and a strange girl clutching a large pair of scissors as she mounts Moeka. The girl's name was Chi-chan. She used to live in this house, but she was supposed to have left the town after causing an incident. Her presence uncovers the "poison" that Hagino and her seemingly happy family had been trying to hide, and heralds the start of their nightmarish days...
