Miguel Calabria EscribiendoCine Despite some flaws, such as uneven pacing and a lack of character development, The Forbidden Play is a valuable Japanese horror offering. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Guillermo Courau La Nación (Argentina) Despite his attempt to turn a stale horror genre style on its head, the director does not achieve an emotional commitment to the story that extends beyond the common places of his filmography. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) Nakata returns with an effective tale of the living dead driven by human emotions. Rated: 3/5 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times The mishmash of genres and influences -- imagine The Exorcist and Terminator 2: Judgement Day run through a J-horror blender -- goes down better than expected. Rated: 3/5 Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
