Not really a horror film but one of the better movies I've watched on here. Plus I'm a sucker for practical effects of which this has MANY!
not frightening at all but a fun and fantastic monster movie. a theremin-centric soundtrack, the yokai themselves, and the period clothing are all elements which make this so watchable and enjoyable
Fun period piece with lots of entertaining drama, silliness and great production. Cool monster effects and a lot of fun to watch. Fun for date night.
As fas as the story goes it was ok I definitely thought that spook warfare and along with ghosts had better plots going for them. The story here dragged a little bit for me with some unlikely characters, of course the monster parts are cool. I think they could have gotten there faster but the payoff was really satisfying so still an enjoyable experience watching it.
There’s something magical about horror films that were made before CGI, especially creature features, when costumes/ monsters had to all be made by hand. Okay yes it’s quiet and slow, and if you have the attention span of a fly probably don’t watch this. However, if you enjoy the surreality of old Japanese movies, are looking for something different and enjoy cool handmade monsters this is for you!
