Renowned for his horror titles, Japanese writer-director Kurosawa Kiyoshi has a knack for getting under the skin and into the mind with deep, unsettling films that challenge the boundaries of the genre.

The director’s 2006 film Loft bears his trademark motifs and shooting style, painting a restrained and haunting supernatural tale. The film stars top actress Nakatani Miki (Memories of Matsuko), Toyokawa Etsushi (Hula Girls), and Nishijima Hidetoshi (Casshern).

Though Reiko and Yoshioka get off to a bumpy start, the two grow closer over time, enough so that Reiko eventually agrees to hide the mummy in her home.
