Meagan Navarro Daily Dead 07/29/2019
2.5/5
Despite a few minor tweaks, the addition of gore by way of eye trauma, and a modern polish on an old trope, 'Stare' doesn't stray far from the J-horror formula introduced by 'Ringu' two decades ago. Go to Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 11/22/2022
3.5/5
Stare doesn’t necessarily give J-horror fans anything new. Still, the film’s incredibly creepy. Adachi’s screenplay touches on themes about how / why folk tales affect us, and how the past connects with modernity through urban legends. Go to Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 10/23/2020
3.5/5
Well-made, sufficiently eerie and with a fun spectre in Shirai-san, the film is worth checking out, and is several notches above Hideo Nakata's limp Sadako Go to Full Review Scott Phillips The Movie Isle 07/23/2020
If you're a fan of Japanese horror, and Japanese ghost stories in particular, then you'll want to give Stare a look. Go to Full Review Marshall Shaffer Crooked Marquee 08/19/2019
Otsuichi does not stop with the obvious conclusion that cellphones and the internet are bad. Instead, his film pinpoints the omnipresence of meaningless details on social media as the culprit. Go to Full Review Kimberley Elizabeth Nightmare on Film Street 08/09/2019

"Stare mystifies as a chilling, effective J-horror - even with a somewhat stale format." Go to Full Review Read all reviews
