Description:

Furueru shita - An excellent film with some fantastic and believable performances. It can be hard going and awkward in some ways but it is never anything less than fascinating and well worth seeing.

Masako, a five-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Chiba, gets a tiny scratch on her finger while playing with mud in a marsh. After that, she suffers all kinds of horrible spasms including biting her tongue. The doctor checks on her for hours on end and arrives at the conclusion that she has Tetanus – a microorganism that held sway on earth many hundred million years ago.

It seems like the devil has come to dwell in the little girl’s body. Her parents, Akira and Kunie, have to bear the sufferings of their child and face the fear that they might also be the victims of Tetanus. The once peaceful family has changed completely and the three have been cast into a bottomless Hell…
