Howl from Beyond the Fog (狭霧の国,   Sagiri no Kuni, lit. Land of Fog) is an independent tokusatsu kaiju short film produced by LosGatos Works. Helmed by Daisuke Sato, the film was crowdfunded via Kickstarter in late 2017 and premiered at the Atami Kaiju Film Festival on November 24, 2019.[3] It is inspired by the 1951 short story "The Fog Horn" by Ray Bradbury, which also served as the basis for the 1953 film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.

Plot

In 1909, during the Meiji reformation period in a small village in Kyushu, Japan, a boy named Eiji and a blind woman named Takiri encounter the giant monster Nebula.[1][4]
