A washed up horror film director named Kôji Kuroishi (played by Kôji Shiraishi) and his assistant director named Miho Ichikawa visit a house deep in wooded mountains to film a movie. Once arrived, they meet a mentally deranged woman named Maria Miyoshi who proclaims she's a fan of Kuroishi's works. The woman pleads that she's experienced the same things as documented in Kuroishi's works. Unexplainable phenomena quickly begin to happen, so Kuroishi sets out to document these experiences and turn them into a film, together with the help of a 'super volunteer' named Shôhei Uno and a handsome psychic medium named Nanashi.

HOLY @#$%! Sorry but that's the best way I can describe the feeling after watching this masterpiece. Shiraishi isn't joking in this show when the calls it a masterpiece. Although he is most known for making scary found footage, this show has a complete 50/50 with scares and comedy. It is absolutely funny. Every character is spot on with their realistic acting as though this is being recorded as an actual documentary. You are going to want this show to go on for more than 6 episodes. The best advice before watching this show is to watch the movie Cult 2013. I believe that because the character NEO is in both that movie and this show, that is it indeed a follow on from Cult and a continuation of that story. Anyway, if you are a Found Footage maniac, you would be crazy to miss that movie and this show.
