Shigeru Okada

A clay animation horror short.

The plot concerns 10 college students who, as part of a personal project, investigate an abandoned building that was recently seen with a mysterious white, glowing pillar on it. However, things rapidly get out of hand, because whatever is in there has... plans for them.

The story is centered on a family living in a small village that consist of a man named Hikobei, his wife, and three daughters where a Gecko witnesses the three daughter acting so selfish and always fighting over trivial things causing it to become upset and start to blacken until the youngest daughter accidentally kills when she was pushed and fell on it. One night the dead gecko slips into the water supply where the youngest daughter unsuspectingly swallows and slowly transform into a Gecko, but that is only the beginning as each night one family member would be turned into and become a gecko.

A homeless thief takes the sacred rope from a bolder to cover a bloody wound, not realising what evil it will unleash.
