User Reviews
SakuraScream – 7/10
“I wasn't sure what to expect, but this movie really got under my skin. The visuals are gorgeous and disturbing at the same time. It's more of a psychological horror, but the body horror elements are truly unsettling. Definitely not for the squeamish.”
GoreGeek – 5/10
“For me, it had some really cool ideas and the atmosphere was creepy, but it felt slow and the scares were more weird than scary. I can see why some people love it, but I wanted more actual horror and less abstract weirdness.”
CosmeticNightmare – 8/10
“As someone who's obsessed with body horror, this was right up my alley. The transformation of Lilico is both beautiful and horrifying. The director's style is so unique, it feels like you're watching a twisted art film. Highly recommended for horror fans who appreciate something different.”
SkepticalSam – 4/10
“I really tried to like this, but it just didn't work for me. The acting was okay, but the story was too slow and I never felt genuinely scared. It felt more like a drama with some horror elements. Not my cup of tea, but I guess some might enjoy the artistic approach.”
