Kiyoshi Kurosawa, known for his mind-blowing films like 'Cure' and 'Pulse', has released his latest horror movie edition 'Chime', which incorporates an intriguing nft element.
Hailed as a standout horror experience, Chime presents a distinct challenge in the cinematic realm: it is currently only available for rental through a Japanese digital video sharing platform called twitter.com/roadstead_info” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>rada.iowhich uses nft technology.
Roadstead and nft: A New way to watch movies?
Instead of users trading digital art, they can buy and rent limited copies of films through Roadstead, which operates similarly to a digital video store.
Currently the only Roadstead nft movie is Chime, which is available to rent by creating an account and clicking on the movie rental page.
The rental process is simple: select a movie, opt for a one-day rental for $4.50 or a one-week rental for $10, and pay in yen.
Exploring the movie Chime
At Chime, the public follows Matsuoka, a former chef who reluctantly becomes a cooking instructor. When one of his students begins to exhibit violent behavior triggered by a mysterious sound, chaos erupts and spreads quickly.
Known for his ability to create tension, Kiyoshi Kurosawa infuses suspense even into ordinary scenes. The film's brilliance shines through its sound design: although the titular “bell” remains unheard, its haunting presence is felt through recurring musical cues, intensifying each noise.
As viewers immerse themselves in the disturbing world of Chime, they not only encounter Kurosawa's signature style of horror, but also explore the novel concept of nft movie rentals, marking a significant evolution in film distribution.
