Program Note

A group of friends goes on a trip to a lakeside cabin. Mao tries to avoid mingling with the others, and Kenta, the cabin owner, has an accident and falls into the water. Soon, strange events begin to occur at the cabin. Characters in horror films often judge others based on appearances and display hypocritical behavior, and this story, while familiar, offers a fresh take on the cabin horror genre by using water as a central element.
