If you loved Hell Girl, try Cult

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Koji Shiraishi, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Fantasy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hell Girl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cult is

Suburban Tokyo. Cicadas. A child's drawing. Idol singers visit a possessed family, hoping for a ratings bump. Two rival exorcists arrive instead, soon joined by a swaggering paranormalist. Shiraishi made found-footage sing.
