Overview
Dr. Marlowe, a paleontologist and professor, finds a piece of a map pointing to the place where the Ningyo, the mythical Japanese creature, could be found. The legend claims whomever consumes its flesh will attain remarkable longevity. He presents the project to his peers, who mock and dismiss him as a fraud. He decides to risk everything and go after the Ningyo on his own in hopes to bring to light what could be one of the greatest contributions to science. What he could not anticipate is that, in his search, he is confronted with a choice that puts the very foundations of his morality to the test.

Viewing Notes
Last film of Day 1 at Juggernaut. Hot damn this is a great film. The production quality is outstanding. This was kickstarted and I’m sad I didn’t know about it bc I would’ve contributed. Neat story about the hunt for this particular cryptid and the different factions vying for its discovery including a secretive Japanese group. Set at the dawn of the 20th century this could be made into a full feature (even says at the end this is only part 1). Was blown away by this one and want to see more from this universe.
