User Reviews
GraveyardGertie – 7/10
“The atmosphere is thick with folklore and dread. Not a jump-scare fest, but the slow burn really got under my skin. The romance felt genuine, which made the horror hit harder.”
CelluloidDemon – 5/10
“It had its moments, but the pacing was too slow for me. The legend of the inugami is cool, but the execution felt muddled. And the ending left me a bit confused.”
MiskatonicMom – 6/10
“A beautiful yet eerie film. The performances were solid, and the village setting was perfectly creepy. However, it didn't quite reach the terrifying heights I hoped for. Still, a decent watch for folk horror fans.”
ScreamQueen1979 – 4/10
“I struggled with this one. The story is interesting on paper, but the pace really dragged. The scares are minimal, and the love story didn't resonate with me. Just not my cup of tea.”
