Never After Dark

What it’s about

Airi, a traveling psychic who helps lost souls cross over, is hired by new owners of a countryside inn to expel a ghost frightening visitors. She quickly realizes the entity is not merely a spirit but a demon that exists in both the world of the dead and the living. Her strict rule is never to work at night, but this case forces her to confront darkness.

What hooks you

Directed by Dave Boyle, who also wrote the screenplay, the film features Moeka Hoshi as Airi and Kurumi Inagaki as Miku. The title can be translated as "Never work after dark," reflecting the protagonist's core principle and the danger she must face.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who enjoy supernatural horror with a strong female lead and a premise built on a personal rule being tested by an otherworldly threat.
