Who else here is obsessed with Disney+ at the moment? With so many amazing choices, there really is no limit to what you can watch on the streaming platform. We recently got a spine-chilling new addition to our watch list, as well: Gannibal, a heart-pounding new Japanese psychothriller that is now streaming on Disney+.
Gannibal Plot
Set in Kuge, a fictional Japanese village, Gannibal sees newly moved police officer Daigo Agawa arrive as a broken man. While things start off promisingly for the new arrival, a series of alarming events, including the unexpected death of an elderly villager, begin to unfold, leading Daigo to the horrifying realization that something is deeply wrong with the village and those who live there. Thrown into a hostile environment with suspense around every corner, will the latest police officer to patrol the streets of Kuge village be able to bring those responsible to justice before it’s too late?
