Red Foliage is an interesting blend of horror and drama, which is quite unexpected considering Toshiharu Ikeda's usual oeuvre. The story revolves around a high-school student who develops a deep affection for a woman during a school trip, set against a backdrop of striking autumn colors that almost feel like a character in their own right. The pacing fluctuates; it starts slow, building tension and emotion before diving into darker themes of obsession and longing. The performances, especially the lead, are compelling, revealing layers that resonate with the audience. It's not just a love story; it explores the complexities of youth and infatuation with an eerily beautiful atmosphere. The practical effects add an unsettling edge that's quite distinct for a drama.
