Mike Thorn In Review Online Sayuri promises the gonzo genre mix-up often mastered by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Takashi Miike — while it never reaches anything near those heights, it contains plenty of indelible images and moments, and sometimes that's all a good horror movie needs. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Harris Dang Their Own League House of Sayuri is a fun, clever inversion of Japanese horror from filmmaker Koji Shiraishi that is sure to scare, surprise and touch those who are expecting more than just the normal serving of horror cinema. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 29, 2024 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times Sayuri finds a partial solution in Japan’s ero-guro (erotic and grotesque) artistic genre, which shades its humor pitch-black to match the darkness of the deeds on display. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography All Japanese directors who struggle to fluidly interweave different genre-elements within their J-horror narratives should give Koji Shiraishi's House of Sayuri a thorough watch. Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful Masterfully blends chilling terror, effective humor, and endless surprises in a thrilling and subversive rollercoaster. Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Emma Vine Loud and Clear Reviews The decision to abruptly shift from horror to comedy halfway through the feature not only results in tonal disarray but negatively impacts a film with a perfect setup that had the potential to be something great. Rated: 3/5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
