Richard Kuipers Variety 08/01/2017
Stylishly decorated and generating all-important sympathy for a character living precariously in two worlds, director Kentaro Hagiwara's feature debut gets the drama right but is let down by visual effects that are sometimes unconvincing. Go to Full Review

It falls victim to a few anime adaptation woes but nothing damning. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Still, though flawed, there's a lot to like about Tokyo Ghoul, and it's easily one of the better films in the never-ending stream of manga adaptations Go to Full Review

"Tokyo Ghoul" is a competent adaptation that benefits much from the original material and its acting, and I would love to see how a bigger budget would be implemented in the action scenes of the (bound to come) sequels. Go to Full Review

Thus... the film ends up being a Japanese and teenage nephew of Cronenberg's version of The Fly. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

chris h 06/11/2024 Though being a little flawed in transition from anime to action movie.This is a great time.Could of been trimmed alittle in time,but non the less,this is a great adaptation.Well worth your time for a good time. See more 03/17/2022 A really great and for the most part, accurate translation from the anime to live action. If you are a fan of the anime definitely give this a view. See more 04/19/2021 I did not like this film at all because I was never scared when watching it. It didn't make me believe that anything paranormal was going on. Like in the beginning the guy in the control room directing everyone on what to do and telling them good acting. It just gave me the sense that these people are faking a paranormal haunting in a fiction movie. Like I was just wondering the whole time was this all set up to make it look real by the team, are they all just acting like they're scared? I know in real life these are actors acting out a paranormal investigation but I just couldn't believe they were playing people carrying out a paranormal investigation actually being haunted. Even towards the last 30 minutes when stuff gets interesting, like the team leaders finally admit they were faking (we totally knew that was coming) it fails to be horrifyingly scary, interesting but not scary. Although this is coming from a person who has viewed alot of horror genre films so I might just be numb to this film. See more 07/03/2020 Very clever and sometimes deep, with amazing acting and action. Highly recommend. See more 05/25/2020 The dialogue lacks the weight of the comic and the acting and editing is choppy. See more 03/10/2020 It's so amazing that i almost cried "for the first time in forever" See more Read all reviews
