The movie is more profound and unsettling than its basic pitch ever lets on.

Rated: 3.5/5

Kinda like if Cure was a conventional horror movie but instead of scary moments there was a whole bunch of unintentional comedy. Seriously, I can't believe the same guy directed both movies.

Despite some spooky moments, Retribution gets trapped in a predictable and boring police investigation.

Kiyoshi Kurasawa emphasizes that J-Horror should be slow-paced. But what he proved here is dragging somehow.

Powerful opening and closing scenes. Slow, but somewhat hypnotic.

Very cool movie. Great story and really creepy. Heavy on atmosphere just they way I like it.

Horror solidissimo pur nel suo minimalismo. Kiyoshi Kurosawa prova di essere sempre un passo avanti nel generare inquietudine, nel visualizzare i sogni piÃ¹ disturbanti.
