User Reviews
VHS_Voyeur – 7/10
“I went in expecting a grindhouse shocker, but got a meditative dive into a killer's blank mind. The bicycle chases were oddly hypnotic, and the violence felt brutally real. Not for the faint of heart, but it stuck with me.”
GialloGrump – 5/10
“Too slow and detached for my taste. The repetitive structure got boring, and the killer never felt menacing, just blank. I appreciate the arthouse angle, but I wanted more scares and less staring at tires.”
Slasher_Sue – 8/10
“For me, this is a hidden gem of extreme cinema. The way Wakamatsu films the murders with such coldness makes them even more disturbing. The final shot is burned into my brain – pure horror art.”
MorbidTrash – 6/10
“It's a tough watch – graphic, repetitive, and bleak. But if you're into that kind of uncompromising realism, it works. The killer's mundane routine juxtaposed with his gruesome acts was oddly compelling.”
