Als Mag Mag, ein rätselhafter Geist, der die Jungen ihrer Schule ins Visier genommen hat, auch Sanaes Schwarm tötet, schwört sie Rache. Irgendwann aber wird ihr klar, dass die eigentliche Bedrohung nicht in der Geisterwelt liegt, sondern viel näher, in ihrem eigenen Umfeld.

"If you see her, it's too late. If she falls in love with you, the only escape is death." After her crush is killed by the Mag Mag ghost, the protagonist, Sanae, vows revenge, but soon discovers the true identity of the person she truly owes her revenge to. This crazy love story, based on the director's own painful romantic experiences, is a twisted tale that combines horror and humor, delivering a powerful blow to the world.

„Mag Mag“ ist mehr als ein Horrorfilm. Es ist ein Genre-Experiment, das Fragen nach Liebe, Verrat und Obsession stellt. Mit überbordender Fantasie, grotesken Bildern und einer Protagonistin, die zwischen Opferrolle und Selbstermächtigung schwankt, entfaltet sich ein fiebriger Albtraum, der zugleich zum Lachen und zum Schaudern bringt. Wir zeigen den Film als Deutschlandpremiere!

Deliciously twisted and brimming with imagination, “Mag Mag” stands as a reminder of what happens when Japanese creators unleash their creativity without restraint. It may be over the top at times, but it is also - delightfully - too much of a good thing.

"Mag Mag" is a surprising Japanese horror-comedy gem. It knows when to go full disturbing, but also knows how to break the tension with a good laugh. Director Yuriyan Retriever and writer Eisuke Naitô have crafted a dark, odd world with a few surprising twists.

“Mag Mag” is the first film from K2 Pictures, a new Japanese production company founded in 2023. With directors Takashi Miike, Hirokazu Koreeda and Miwa Nishikawa on board, the company aims to change the world's perception of Japanese cinema. Their debut film boldly expresses this new image. Directed for the first time by Yuriyan Retriever, Japan's most popular comedian and two-time contestant on "America's Got Talent", it reinterprets the world-famous J-horror genre with a fresh perspective.
