Two puppeteers cast giant shadows to conjure a hilarious occult mystery. Teenage sceptic Vi is forced to live with her grandmother, who claims to be the 200-year-old mystic and spiritual guru Madam Blavatsky. When Vi's friends begin to disappear, she reluctantly teams up with Granny to uncover a conspiracy of séances, unhinged cultists and suspiciously interested government agents. A visually striking dark comedy. Based on a possibly true story. Learn real magic. Summon demons. Impress your friends. Sceptics welcome. Spirits optional. From the award-winning Japanese company behind Shunga Alert and Space Hippo. ***** (ThreeWeeks).
