Comedy Horror
A single supermarket becomes a chilling mirror of Japanese culture in this biting horror film, where blank stares and a manager who enforces a dead-eyed, robotic cheerfulness rule the aisles. Amid the oppressive conformity, only a young worker named Sakai dares to cling to hope.

More About This Film

AnyMart is a Japanese horror thriller and dark comedy set inside a small convenience store in Tokyo. Sakai works through the same routine day after day, maintaining an impassive professionalism while strange events and unexplained deaths gradually disrupt the store's seemingly ordinary environment.

Director Yusuke Iwasaki uses the convenience store as a miniature version of modern society, turning repetitive work, enforced friendliness, and dehumanized routines into the foundation for surreal and increasingly disturbing horror. Shota Sometani, Erika Karata, and Masahiko Nishimura lead the cast in a film that mixes social satire, gore, and deadpan humor.
