Kanashibara

In the wake of his girlfriend's death, a man's sense of the real and the illusory world begins to blur when he is visited nightly by hallucinatory representations of his depression in the form of a Succubus.

Directed by Jaimz Asmundson, Kanashibara leans on a strong ensemble — Alek Rzeszowski, Karen Asmundson, Elizabeth Polasek — 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 2007.
