User Reviews
NightOwlNina – 8/10
“I was completely mesmerized by the atmosphere. It's not your typical jump-scare horror, but the creeping dread and unsettling imagery stayed with me for days. The performances are haunting, especially in the second half.”
GoreGoblin – 6/10
“It's a weird one. Some scenes were genuinely disturbing and the direction is stylish, but the pacing dragged in the middle. I appreciate what it was trying to do, but it wasn't quite my cup of tea.”
ScreamingSushi – 7/10
“For me, the best part was the gradual descent into madness. The two female leads are incredible, and the way their stories intertwine is both tragic and terrifying. It's a challenging watch, but rewarding if you stick with it.”
CultCinemaChick – 5/10
“I wanted to love this because I'm a fan of Sion Sono, but it felt too disjointed and a bit pretentious. Some powerful imagery, sure, but the story left me cold. Maybe I need to rewatch it, but my first impression was meh.”
