Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas, operated by HUMAX Entertainment Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Michio Akimoto), has decided to hold the "ZZZ Roadshow" once a month! Isn't it okay to have one low-budget Z-grade movie a month? Accept whatever is screened as it is! Even with a continuous string of Z's like ZZZ..., you won't be able to sleep. This event screening gathers impact-focused works that defy genre. Thanks to the event screening format, behind-the-scenes talks by Shark Movie Rookie and Dankichi Nakano provide perfect (?) follow-up. We also plan to implement visitor commemorative projects such as stamp cards, so please look forward to it!

When she casually entrusts it to her brother, it leads to his inexplicable death, and the kite mysteriously disappears. Soon, strange incidents of people being attacked by "kites floating in the sky" occur one after another in the town. It was not just a toy. It was a "killer kite" that hunted people down and took their lives as if it had a will of its own. Abby investigates with her best friend and colleague, but the past surrounding the kite is eerily distorted and not straightforward. Will the true nature of this cursed kite be revealed? And can the chain of tragedies be stopped?
