About Squareworld (Short Version)
Squareworld has a stark, minimal narrative: a drug-addicted man kidnaps a young woman from the hills, holds her prisoner and eventually kills her and disposes of her body. We learn almost nothing about either the victim or her tormentor, and the film contains no moral judgments –Tony Rayns
Directed by Kenji Onishi, Squareworld (Short Version) leans on a strong ensemble — Natsuyo Kanahama, Kenji Onishi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1995.
