Mag Mag

Magamaga onna | Yuriyan Retriever | JP 2025 | 112 Min | DCP

Mag Mag, a female ghost with stringy hair and red lipstick, kills the men she loves. After a series of bizarre murders, Hiroshi (Maeda Oshirō) is visited by a love-stricken entity, while Sanae (Sara Minami), who harbors a secret crush on him, seeks revenge. Award-winning Japanese comedian, actor, and singer Yuriyan Retriever makes her wonderfully unhinged feature directing debut with Mag Mag, a venomous, many-layered horror comedy packed with scares, twists, and sizzling J-horror tropes.
