This Director Isn't Human

The Tang Dynasty film industry is dying—horror movies can't even get clicks, let alone ticket sales. Enter Lu Zhengyi, a towering director with an unsettling promise: absolute realism. Chu Renmei? The Great Black Mother Buddha? Cat-Face Lady? He's got them all, and they're REAL. As trembling newcomers join Meili Cat Studios, the veterans know the truth—when Lu makes a movie, the monsters aren't special effects. In a parallel world where cinema meets the supernatural, one director will drag audiences kicking and screaming back to theaters... assuming they survive the shoot.
