Plot synopsis:
Haruna Tsunematsu (Yuri Tsunematsu) is studying folklore at university and she decides the subject of her graduation thesis will be the “Kisaragi Station” urban legend which has been a hot topic on the Internet since 2004.

During her investigation, she learns of the existence of a woman, Junko Hayama (Eriko Sato), who is rumoured to be the person who initially posted online about this urban legend, “Hasumi”. The pair meet face-to-face. After covering Junko’s assertion that she has reached a different world, Haruna heads to the station where the urban legend began…

Reviews:

“The special effects look cheesy… like badly done to the extent that the spooky moments look kind of comical. I don’t know if this was deliberate, but it works for me as it keeps me entertained and hooked to watch till the end.” alvinology
