User Reviews
ScaryFan88 – 7/10
“The atmosphere is genuinely disturbing, and the black-and-white animation adds to the unease. Maruo's art translates well, but the story is a real downer. If you're into extreme psychological horror, it's worth a watch.”
GoreHound – 5/10
“I appreciate the artistic ambition, but the pacing was a bit slow for me, and the abuse felt more gratuitous than necessary. Not my favorite, but the visuals are unique.”
MidnightMovieManiac – 8/10
“This movie really got under my skin. The way it blends beauty and horror is haunting. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're looking for something truly unsettling, this delivers.”
NostalgicNerd – 6/10
“I can see why it's controversial, but the story felt a bit disjointed. Some scenes were powerful, but others left me confused. An interesting piece of horror history, but not a masterpiece.”
