SAI: Disaster

A thriller that truly lives up to its name: enigmatic, unsettling, utterly creepy, and—with its incredibly long yet gripping narrative arc from start to finish—a masterpiece of its genre. Six people lead six very different lives; they will never meet in this film, yet they are connected by a certain melancholy, even sadness, that hovers over their lonely paths—and the presence of a mysterious man with hypnotic eyes who circles them and suddenly finds himself in their immediate vicinity time and again. Is he the personification of evil or an angel of death heralding an impending catastrophe? The first bodies begin to turn up, yet the police are still completely in the dark…

Originally conceived as a web series, SAI is the cinematic embodiment of the breathlessness of a nameless fear that grips so many of us in the rootlessness of the urban jungle. Loneliness is at its beginning—and at its end. This is what the film tells us, with almost painfully clear images and a soundtrack you won’t soon forget.
