The Monsters
2023, Japanese. Directed by Naotoshi Kitada.
One day, Kenji, a man who makes his own monster movies, meets a 9-year-old girl named Juria, who is wandering around town. When Kenji learns that Jurian is not attending school and is being abused by her mentally ill mother, he gives her a dog-shaped toy to watch over her and tells her to turn on the recording switch to film when her mother abuses her. Later that day, he receives a dog toy from Juri Anne, which contains images that make him want to cover his eyes.
