Meagan Navarro Daily Dead 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 29, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 22, 2022 Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 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 Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 23, 2020 Full Review Scott Phillips The Movie Isle If you're a fan of Japanese horror, and Japanese ghost stories in particular, then you'll want to give Stare a look. Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Marshall Shaffer Crooked Marquee 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. Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Kimberley Elizabeth Nightmare on Film Street "Stare mystifies as a chilling, effective J-horror - even with a somewhat stale format." Rated: 7/10 Aug 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
