If you loved The World of Kanako, try It Comes
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. It Comes has roughly 4.3× fewer votes than The World of Kanako — 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 Tetsuya Nakashima, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to The World of Kanako, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What It Comes is
Rural Japan. Rustling leaves. A young family's happiness, shattered by a series of increasingly bizarre and malevolent events. Soon a desperate father enlists a motley crew to fight back against a nameless, faceless evil. Nakashima's gonzo occult thriller is not for the faint of heart.
