Woman discovers that her husband is turning into something other than human.

Keiko (Aki Morita) is an ordinary housewife. But her husband Yoshiaki (Kazunari Aizawa) is having a nightmarish seizure every night. He's seems to be slowly beginning to lose his humanity. Not only that his body is also transforming into a monster.

Interesting low budget sci-fi movie. Husband is changing into a monster, but the wife continues to love him. Soon the authorities find out about Yoshiaki's transformation, and tries to arrest him. 

Good theme and development of the story. For the budget, the story was pretty respectable, and worth the watch.

A new kind of monster movie, that I hope more will be made in the future.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.

The body horror subgenre features the physical and psychological transformation, deformation, or degradation of the human body.

A young couple are living a quiet and happy life, until the husband suddenly begins howling uncontrollably.
