Audience Member Awesome movie! Spooky like all good Japanese ones! Spooky too! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic Ghost story with great FX, I wish Japan could still make films like this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The film starts off as a blue and white film. There is a hideous blue tint, making this seem so amateurish. Luckily these scenes only bookend a rather mesmerizing middle. As the story is recounted, we see an absolute arse faced samurai, let his temper get the better of him. This soon leads to murder, which leads to suspicion, followed by rape, and then madness. The story is creepy at times, but when the cat/ghost woman has cat ears pop-up on top of her head, it's rather a funny sight. I never felt threatened by the "horror" on screen. It seemed at times as though the middle section was made and just wasn't enough for a motion picture, resulting in the poorly assembled present day sequences. The film's running time works in its favor, but the period piece certainly could have made a longer film, if it bothered to deal with the descent into madness and the horrific acts gradually increasing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm disappointed overall, unfortunately most of the scary parts came off as funny but the only thing this has going for it is a handful of stylish scenes. And that blue tint in the opening and closing is really fucking annoying. Why not just black and white? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
