you really feel the dread when she is standing at the front door and then everything changes so fast and the art style for her character design is top tier

hearing the phone ring and then that long silence before she spoke again was so creepy and it made the payoff at the end feel earned

the voice acting when Mary says she is right behind you made my skin crawl and then the visuals just went in a completely different direction than I expected

Episode Context

Episode 4 adapts the classic Japanese urban legend of Mary's Phone Call, delivering a slow-burn supernatural horror experience wrapped in the series' signature adult anthology format. The tone is tense and unsettling from the start, leaning heavily on atmospheric dread rather than overt shock. A mysterious doll named Mary drives the narrative through a series of increasingly disturbing phone calls, building unease with deliberate, careful pacing. Moments of eerie quiet are punctuated by chilling interactions that escalate the psychological tension. Fans of Japanese folklore horror will recognize the source material immediately, while the episode's restrained build-up rewards viewers who appreciate suspense over immediate gratification. Expect atmosphere-first storytelling with a creeping, supernatural edge throughout.
