Haze

Haze (2005) is a claustrophobic Japanese horror short you can watch online on iFILM, written, directed by and starring Shinya Tsukamoto. A man comes to in a filthy concrete crawlspace, barely able to move.

He can't recall his name, how he got there, or why a wound in his stomach won't stop bleeding. All he can do is inch forward through the dark, scraping raw against the walls, never sure whether the passage leads out or deeper in. Tsukamoto — the mind behind cult shocker Tetsuo: The Iron Man — packs the whole ordeal into forty-nine wordless, airless minutes of bodily dread. Not for the squeamish, and proud of it.
