Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman

Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman (2007) is a Japanese horror film you can watch online on iFILM. In a quiet provincial town, children start vanishing one after another, dragging an old local legend back into the daylight.

Thirty years earlier, people whispered about a woman in a long coat who roamed the streets with a pair of scissors. She would pull back her mask, ask a child whether she was pretty, and turn any answer into a death sentence. Two schoolteachers don't buy the ghost story, but they take up the search for the missing kids and inch toward something real. Director Akio Shiraishi leans on dread and the well-known kuchisake-onna myth instead of gore. It's for viewers who'd take a heavy, creeping mood over cheap jump scares.
