Synopsis:
A seemingly simple excursion into the mountains takes a disquieting turn for two urban dwellers. Lost amidst a remote and isolated landscape, their search for respite leads them to an unconventional eatery, tucked away from the well-trodden paths. The atmosphere of the restaurant is unsettlingly peculiar, populated by enigmatic patrons who hint at a hidden world existing beneath the surface of everyday life. As the men attempt to find their way back to civilization, they become entangled in the strange customs and unspoken rules of this secluded community. The narrative explores themes of societal disconnect, the blurring lines between reality and perception, and the unsettling allure of the unknown lurking within familiar settings. It’s a character-driven story that prioritizes atmosphere and psychological intrigue over traditional action.

After years of searching and waiting, this fun little adaption of a classic tale is finally available online! The story follows two men as they come upon a restaurant; peculiarly located in the middle of the woods. Without a second thought, they decided to step in and see what's to offer - but what's being served up isn't something they'd expect. The animation is very nice, smooth and childlike, which gives it a fresh feel compared to the original version, which is drawn more roughly and aimed towards an older audience. The soundtrack compliments each scene rightfully and the story progresses quickly and smoothly. Overall, this short littlemovie is a good fun watch. Even with the lack of English subtitles, I do suggest giving it a go and seeing what the restaurant has to order! -

Rate a 5 English Subtitled Categories: More Comedy rather than horror. story Had it not been for the all ages audience marking i would have been mostly against this anime. Mainly for its deception in comparison to what i believe to have been the original origin film (sepia outlook). I am fine with the idea of taking a popular book/film and remaking it. In that retrospect they did a fine job. From the color down to plot it is quite different. Sadly, in making the change over in age limit affected most of the story's main message. For the stay with you horror imprint was replayed by a comical jokepresentation. Good for the moment but without the scare element i doubt most audience members with keep the message of the film to heart.nnMain message being if you hunt you can be hunted as well. With the film mainly siding on animal lovers of all kinds. As for the character choices i am somewhat taken back on.nnAs for the ending of the film i was greatly appreciative. A far more improved and easier to grasp ending than the original. Seeing how the original show's ending was like a poorly put together puzzle with its odd wording.nnCharactersnA story with a moral of life lesson cruel mistreatment needed some villain to teach the lesson to the hunters. So, a particular choice was made. While that choice of animal is know to be rather vicious they can also be kind just like dogs. In some cases even more so. Point trying to be made is it saddens me every-time i see a common view being ingrained even further into one's minds. For example 401k's plan... most if not some people still think those future bank plans are awesome for retirement. Sadly, they are not. But thanks to common pushes from social conversations, commercials, yada yada are fluxing people they are good which is preventing people from seeing the entire picture. Like Adam says in his television show Adam ruin's everything it is a good plan as a substitution, kind of like a backup plan b but depending on what your career plan is in life can greatly hurt you.
