The Summer Hikaru Died
The Summer Hikaru Died streams on Netflix. It's the rural-horror sensation about grieving someone who's still standing in front of you — an eerie, tender, beautifully unsettling story of a friendship invaded by something inhuman.
About
In a sleepy mountain village, Yoshiki and Hikaru have been inseparable forever. Then Hikaru vanishes into the mountains — and comes back wrong. The boy who returned has Hikaru's face, Hikaru's memories, even Hikaru's affection for Yoshiki, but Yoshiki knows immediately: his best friend is gone, and something else is wearing him. The horror isn't just the creature; it's that Yoshiki can't bring himself to reject it, because losing this counterfeit would mean losing Hikaru twice. Around them, the village's old shadows begin to stir.
