“I loved the eerie vibe and the tension that doesn't let up. The black-and-white visuals add to the dread. Nakagawa really knows how to build suspense. The ending was a bit abrupt for me, but overall a solid watch.”

“As a fan of classic horror, I appreciated the atmosphere and the historical setting. The plot was intriguing but a little confusing at times with all the political intrigues. Still, the tension kept me hooked. Worth a watch.”

“I was expecting more scares, honestly. It's more of a thriller than a horror, but the creepy touches are there. If you're into Japanese classics, you'll find something here. Just don't expect blood and guts.”
