Tomino’s Hell VR180 horror series

About

About Tomino’s Hell

Tomino’s Hell is a five-part mini-series of found-footage horror shot in VR180. It is framed as a set of recovered tapes: four friends walk into a psychic boutique on one night in 2017 and the only thing left behind is the footage. It is fiction – the case numbers, the “declassified” documents and the characters are all invented.

The title comes from a real poem, Tomino no Jigoku, by Saijō Yaso (1919). The series borrows its mood and its modern reputation as a “do not read aloud” poem. For the facts behind that reputation, read The Legend.
