More of a supernatural J-drama than a horror movie. It has horror elements but the horror isn't the main focus and more so used as a story telling device, so don't go into this film expecting to be scared. I enjoyed that this film, much like Inugami, focuses so strongly on Shinto. Worth a watch but not for everyone.
not very scary at all, but an enjoyable and beautifully shot film
This starts slow and never speeds up. Acting is standing on your mark minimum.
I usually don’t mind a good slow burn as long as it’s for a good cause. 57 minutes in and I turned it off. I was able to stay engaged and nothing really happened the whole time.
Go past the first 15 minutes
