Audience Member It seems like most of the 1-star reviews are from people who expected this to be a totally different type of movie than it actually is. It is a schoolgirl relationship drama with supernatural elements. As that type of movie, I found it really thoughtful and engrossing and I will be watching it again. (But if you are looking for a slasher you will be disappointed) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member If you can sit through this entire movie without falling asleep or turning it off, I will give you a cookie. TERRIBLE MOVIE! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member The popular and seemingly street-wise radio host Michiru proclaims to her listeners the ease and effectiveness of garnering secret facts by consulting "Kokkuri-san", a traditional Japanese form of Ouija. Three high school girl friends decide to experiment to ask about their futures and love life. Within this group of three is Mio, a quiet and mature girl who lost both her parents tragically at a very young age, Hiroko whose brief and angst-filled life has left her a nihilist, and Masami who finally got (hot and heavy with) her new heart-throb boyfriend and is intent on keeping him. Well, needless to say the Kokkuri session does not go well for the girls. Masami discovers that her new boyfriend is fooling around with Hiroko on the side, Mio learns that she will suddenly die sometime within the next month, and Hiroko storms out of the room before the proper closing chant is completed, resulting in Kokkuri-san hanging around them for the duration of the film. Then things begin to go downhill. I was expecting this to be a good Japanese chiller but what I saw was nothing of the sort. In fact this movie was fairly dull and uninspiring. It was a little too melodramatic for me and I'm still not clear on how the ghoul behind Kokkuri-san fitted into this. The story was uninteresting and the cast looked like they were sleepwalking in their roles. I wasted 90 mins watching this borefest. Don't bother with this movie, unless you want to watch something that will make you fall asleep quickly. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Watch out for that crazy Kokkuri-san and her slow, dull, irritatingly melodramatic, self-indulging excuse for a movie. Possibly one of the more difficult movies to sit through to completion. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall, Kokkuri is one of those little-known horrors from East Asia that fall between the cracks and absolutely deserve to stay there. It's a long, dull film that plods unenthusiastically through its dialogue to the next scene. The story is rather standard, and, unless ordinary children freak you out, the scares are almost non-existent. I'd recommend skipping this one.
