A clip from the mystery film " About a Place in the Kinki Region " (directed by Shiraishi Koji, scheduled for release on August 8th), starring actors Miho Kanno and Akaso Eiji, has been released. The clip shows recorded footage of a "mass hysteria at a certain junior high school field trip" that appears in the film, along with Chihiro (Kanno) and Ozawa (Akaso) staring at the horrifying footage with bated breath.
The film is based on Sekin's novel of the same name (KADOKAWA), which has sold over 350,000 copies. An editor of an occult magazine suddenly goes missing... Until just before his disappearance, he had been gathering various pieces of information, such as investigative documents from unsolved cases, feature articles about mysterious phenomena, and shelved notes from previous interviews, and was investigating something. While searching for him, fellow editor Ozawa (Akaso) and reporter Chihiro (Kanno) discover that all of these events took place in a "certain place in the Kinki region." This is a new type of "location mystery" that asks why the incidents occurred in that particular place.
