If you loved Hakkenden, try The Parades
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Theyboth carry the dread, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hakkenden, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Parades is
A ghost story without scares where a mother hunts for her missing son in a purgatory of lingering souls. She’s the only one who doesn’t know she’s dead. The film rides on a quiet performance that makes denial feel like devotion, a 2020s Japanese drama shaped by loss you can’t name but recognize instantly.
