MidnightMovieBuff – 7/10
“The documentary beautifully highlights how these films reflected Japan's post-bubble anxieties. The interviews are insightful, though at times it felt a bit dry. Overall, a fascinating look at the genre that made me want to rewatch the classics.”
CreepyCrawler – 5/10
“It had some interesting points, but the pacing was slow, and I found myself losing interest. I was hoping for more behind-the-scenes stories and less repetitive commentary. The subject matter is great, but the execution could have been more engaging.”
