A stalker sends love notes stitched with piano wire. Romance is dead, and so might you be.

As further messages come she embarks on a nightmare investigation to uncover the identity of her tormentor.
Practical Effects
Gross-out effects that exceed the micro-budget.
Acting
Kokubu commits to absolute hysteria.
Director
Ataru Oikawa
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ataru Oikawa directed this the same year as his Tomie: Beginning adaptation, essentially cornering the market on low-budget J-horror about obsessive men and doomed women.
