Ryosuke has a bright future. He just opened a successful restaurant and hopes to tie the knot soon with his alluring girlfriend. But then his father declares he has pancreatic cancer and his betrothed vanishes without a trace. In his father’s belongings, he discovers a secret diary, which starts with an ominous sentence: “Without remorse, I take a life …” Ryosuke is completely spellbound and reads on, discovering that the document is actually the confession of a murderer.
Yurigokoro is a gripping psychological thriller based on Mahokaru Numata’s novel, exploring the chilling life of a girl shaped into a killer from childhood, wrapped in intense emotional and moral complexities. With outstanding performances—especially from the child actor—and immersive storytelling, the film balances disturbing content with powerful cinematic elements that keep viewers emotionally invested throughout its runtime. Not suitable for viewers under 18 due to its dark themes, Yurigokoro is a haunting reflection on parental neglect and the tragic consequences of a lost moral compass.
