Plot summary
38-year-old Junichi Tanaka (Masaki AIBA) runs a farming business by himself in a rural town at the foot of the mountains, when one day, he ends up having to take care of his ten-year-old son Kazuya, who had been living with his mother after Junichi's divorce. Right around the time when Kazuya comes to his house, supernatural phenomena start tormenting the family-strange sounds, a murder of crows, flashing lightbulbs, and the feeling of someone's presence. Meanwhile, mysterious deaths and disappearances start to occur in the forest, where Junichi eventually witnesses "IT"-something that is clearly neither man nor animal. Just what is "IT"?. Junichi, Kazuya, and his schoolteacher Eri (Honoka MATSUMOTO) get caught up in the string of mysterious events, but that is only the beginning of the unspeakable terror.—shochikufilms

Horror film for children
I went to see this movie because it was directed by Hideo Nakata, one of the foremost J-horror directors, but the plot, acting, and special effects were all so bad that I had a painful time. It was advertised as a normal J-horror film, but it was a contradiction in terms: a horror film for children. So maybe the title is a parody of IT. In that sense, it was a Not For Me film, but I think the quality was also low as a jubilee horror film. I would have enjoyed such a movie a little more if the lead actor and the child actor had performed well, but both of them were terrible...From now on, even if it is a film by Hideo Nakata, a director I respect and admire, I will stop going to see it easily.
