01 — The story

It starts with
a question.

An innocent classroom joke awakens a masked spirit that hunts through reflections.

As her students die, an anthropology professor searches for a way to survive the question: “Am I beautiful?”

Inspired by the Japanese legend of Kuchisake-onna, Am I Beautiful? brings an unsettling tale of beauty, terror, and survival into a modern American setting.
