Tomorrow Evening

About This Movie

So, 'Tomorrow Evening' is this intriguing little drama from 1977 that really captures a kind of eerie innocence. The story revolves around Ayako, this mysterious 7-year-old girl who appears at an elementary school, drawing both curiosity and trepidation from the other kids. They don't even know her name, referring to her simply as 'that girl,' which adds to the unsettling atmosphere. The pacing is quite deliberate, letting the tension build as the children's interactions reveal deeper themes of identity and belonging. The practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative well, keeping the focus on the performances, especially from the children who convey so much with their expressions and reactions. It's definitely a film that lingers with you, thanks to its unique tone and the way it explores childhood dynamics.

'Tomorrow Evening' has had a rather limited release history, with some VHS copies floating around but not much else. It’s definitely on the rarer side for collectors, as it hasn't seen a proper restoration or reissue. Interest in this film seems to be growing among niche collectors who appreciate its unique storytelling and the way it explores childhood in a slightly darker light.
