If you loved Howling Village, try Immersion
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Immersion has roughly 6.9× fewer votes than Howling Village — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 Takashi Shimizu, and they sit in Horror / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Howling Village, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Immersion is
Fukuroi, Japan. Cicada rasp. A dropped VR headset. Tech workers at Teraverse perish, one by one. Their digital playground, "Synesthesia", bleeds into waking life. Takashi Shimizu returns to the J-horror well.
