Leave your thoughts about Inugami.
| User ReviewAnthony SA masterpiece in cinematography. The viewer is treated to breathtaking beauty of the Japanese countryside through and through. Complete that with the wonderful chemistry between Yuki Amami (heroine) and Atsuro Watabe (hero) and Japanese folklore and one will have goosebumps. Must read the novel once I have copious free time. |
| User ReviewMichael TOne of the most original, well shot, fantastically acted foreign films I've seen this year. |
| User ReviewIppei KIf you're in the mood to see something bizarre, with dozens of toriimon, a Shinto curse, and dynamic acting, this is the movie to see. |
| User ReviewZHANG XIt is a spiritual and dark J-Horror film that leaves mixed emotions. As a Japanese film, I shall not forget the absolute marvelous cinematography. A film I recommend for those who enjoy the psychological and weird Asian cinema. |
| User ReviewKylie BINCEST... Though subtle at first and the characters were unawares that the one they love was a long lost sibling. The supernatural element comes from the jar where the spirits are kept. The females must count each spirit in the jar each night to make sure none had escaped to do harm. It wasn't an easy film to understand at first. |
| User ReviewAnthony GInugami is a decent take on the "trouble with living in an isolated village haunted by a curse" genre. To my recollection, there aren't really any other films that employ that particular setting, but Inugami manages to make it feel so ordinary and underwhelming that I got the feeling it'd all been done before. In unkind terms, the movie's a soap opera with supernatural window-dressing. And incest. Plenty of it. The acting starts off reserved but grows increasingly hysterical, much like the pace of the plot itself. What begins as a subtle, beautiful (check out the cinematography) movie quickly devolves into a frenetic shriek-fest. It's not a bad film, by any means, but it's nothing special, and oddly unrewarding. I don't really recommend this one. |
| User ReviewRadu ALovely and weird - a very 'zen' j-horror, even though it wasn't really j-horror. Very 'Japanese' in nature in many aspects, but also works as a comment on human relationships, modernity vs. tradition and society vs. the individual. Had more than one surprise ending, though neither was really too surprising, and was uneven in parts, especially with the inclusion of 'Predator'-like FX and the (too obvious) allusion to classic Japanese cinema. Overall I liked it, and would recommend it if you get your hands on a copy. |
| User ReviewBill BA slow burn that does eventually pay off, though perhaps not as well as you'd hope, this one was an alright watch. The film does shine in the visuals department, there are some truly amazing shots of the rural Japanese countryside. Give it a rental, but be advised, it's slow moving and has been marketed as 'horror', which it really isn't. There's a small supernatural element, but it's very much a background thing, this is almost a straight up drama. |
| User ReviewJohn MConfusing and saturated with cross-cultural imponderables, but rich with culture and fine cinematography. |
| User ReviewNicki MA folk-horror that challenges the lore of even the most die-hard Japan-o-phile; a tale about a she-wolf, curses and female power: fascinating and disturbing while you miss the point. |
