A mysterious virus, nicknamed Medusa, is spreading around Japan, turning its victims into stone. Given the impossibility of finding an immediate cure, the government opts for cryopreserving a select group of patients until they come up with a solution. Kasumi, one of the chosen ones, has been asleep for years and her awakening, more than a bed of roses, is a bed of thorns, and happens in the midst of total chaos where monstrous creatures lie in wait all around.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A disorienting sci-fi horror nightmare where waking up is worse than staying asleep. This is a relentlessly bleak descent into body horror, religious dread, and psychological unraveling that prioritizes atmosphere and unease over coherence.
