Thank you for joining us for another exciting episode of UNCAGED, the official podcast of The New York Asian Film Festival. This episode features the Q&A session from the North American Premiere of the Japanese horror film, Home Sweet Home at the 2023 edition of the festival. Programmer Karen Severns and director Takumi Saitoh explore his revelatory third feature film.
By twisting the expected tropes of classic horror films, Saitoh presents a foreboding narrative that illustrates how trouble never strays too far from paradise. Home Sweet Home follows a family of three as they move from a dilapidated abode into comfortable new digs. They soon find how an eerie basement can catalyze a waking nightmare. From quiet moments of introspection to explosive revelations, Home Sweet Home keeps its audience on the edge of their seats.
