It's in the Woods

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.
