User Reviews
GoreHound77 – 8/10
“Sion Sono does it again! This is a non-stop adrenaline rush of blood and cinematic madness. The blend of musical numbers and ultra-violence caught me off guard but totally worked. Not for the faint of heart, but if you like your horror with a side of chaos, this is a must-see.”
neon_frights – 7/10
“I loved the visual style and the sheer energy of the film—it's like a fever dream on acid. The pacing felt a bit chaotic at times, and the story gets lost in the mayhem, but the atmosphere was unmistakably creepy and hypnotic. A wild ride from start to finish.”
ShutterIslandGirl – 5/10
“I get why people love this, but it just wasn't for me. The gore and graphic content felt overdone, and the constant shift in tone made it hard to stay engaged. Some scenes were unsettlingly effective, but the movie overall left me feeling more exhausted than scared.”
yokai_watcher – 9/10
“This is a masterpiece of controlled chaos. Sono's direction is brilliant, and the way he weaves horror, comedy, and tragedy is unlike anything I've seen. The finale is pure cinematic insanity—I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. If you're a fan of experimental horror, don't miss it.”
