Synopsis

Gozu

Minami mistakenly kills a gangster associate of his named Brother. Almost as soon as the murder takes place, the body of the deceased man is gone, prompting Minami to conduct a search. While looking, he finds a mysterious isolated hotel where he decides to take a rest. Not only are the front desk clerks a bit strange, but even the ambiance feels unusual. Minami soon realizes he may have gotten more than he bargained for.

He Never Left

After hearing disturbing noises from the next motel room, a fugitive on the run and his girlfriend become prey to the notoriously brutal 'Pale Face' killer, whose legend has haunted the local community for decades.
