Editor’s note: “About a Place in the Kinki Region” (2025) delivers a compelling mix of horror and mystery, prioritizing atmosphere over high-tech thrills. Directed by Koji Shiraishi, the film expertly maintains a steady pace and a vivid sense of location. The performances, particularly those of Miho Kanno, Eiji Akaso, and Atom Shukugawa, lend the narrative emotional weight. Running at 1 hour and 43 minutes, it thoughtfully develops scenes without lingering too long. While it has its flaws, its merits significantly outweigh any shortcomings. The tagline—“My friend has vanished — and something isn’t right with this place.”—accurately encapsulates its core theme. If this concept intrigues you, it’s worth adding to your watchlist.
