Program Note
Izumi, a plain and quiet woman, lives with her parents and a dementia-afflicted grandfather. One day, she receives a social media friend request from her middle-school friend Mika. Izumi remembers Mika only with bad feelings, but she reluctantly approves the request anyway. The two meet and go to the restaurant at a hotel. Over the course of a meal, Izumi’s mother calls to let her know her grandfather’s gone missing. Izumi and Mika cannot find the exit and suddenly a room numbered 666 appears, with Rokuroku, a log-neck woman wearing a red kimono, inside it. Izumi and Mika hear a creepy voice. Her neck gets longer and longer and they finally hear her saying, “You promised.” ROKUROKU: The Promise of the Witch is a horror film with a unique style and story. It may seem a bit absurd but it is what makes this film entertaining, and that is all it needs for the audience of the night.
