Story

An American television crew travels to Hanuda, a remote Japanese mountain village that mysteriously vanished decades earlier, hoping to document its dark history. When they witness a grisly ritual sacrifice, everything unravels: an eerie siren sounds, the village is severed from the outside world, and the dead rise as shambling corpse-creatures called the shibito. Among those caught in the nightmare is Howard Wright, an American student lured to Hanuda by a strange message. As the crew and villagers are scattered and hunted through the cursed hills, mines, and hospital, the survivors must use their uncanny ability to see through their enemies' eyes to evade the shibito and uncover the terrible truth binding the village together.
