Ox-Head Village

Ox-Head Village (牛首村, 2022) is a Japanese horror film you can watch online on iFILM. A haunted-building prank filmed for social media goes wrong when three girls vanish without a trace.

Word spreads that the old Ox-Head Village curse took them. Two of their friends start digging on their own, edging closer to a secret the locals would rather keep buried. The nearer they get to the truth, the slimmer their odds of walking away unchanged. Mitsuki Kimura features in the cast.

It's directed by Takashi Shimizu, the mind behind the Ju-On (The Grudge) franchise, and it closes out his trilogy of cursed-village films. Expect his trademark quiet, folklore-soaked dread rather than cheap jump scares. One for J-horror fans. Stream Ox-Head Village (2022) online on iFILM.
