| User ReviewJoanne AVery Intense film three vignettes: My favorite is what I call the bad date. |
| User ReviewGeorgieboy MAnthology of Japanese short film of horror. 1) Katakata(****): The monster was very similar to Samara, from the ring, and the one from the grudge, for the noise, This is like coming back to the classic, the monster has long black hair, pale face and surely knows how give a scare or two. 2) Hagane (**** 1/2): Two words for this short: Magnificent and awkward. Have fun and a little of disturbing thing, The fact that they don't show the monster is the right guess because you can only think in what was the that, by the way great performances. 3) Uketsugu mono (*** 1/2): The most predictable and less interesting that the three,it's the more traditional, in a manner to speak, the best is that the history is from the point of view of the kid. |
| User ReviewCatine MThis was an even more imaginative way that Japan has discovered to make women creepy. And I loved it, this is a film of three unrelated vignettes about Kowai Ona which translates as Unholy Women or Scary Women and boy are they. I'm not going to list spoilers so just go watch it! |
| User ReviewMs. AA great trio of mini-movies. Rattle Rattle in particular was refreshing in its relentless take on the typical onryÅ? found in many Asian ghost stories. A great "sampler" for breaking in an Asian horror newbie, too! |
| User Reviewvieras eAn anthology of three horror short films featuring creepy or "unholy" women. Kata-kata ***½ The monster's face was a bit too corny for it to really be scary. Awesome sound effects, though. It seems the Japanese really master creating unsettling sounds. Hagane **** Holy crap, what was that?! Uketsugu mono ****- Ick! |
| User ReviewSerene LQuite disturbing, especially the 2nd movie |
| User Reviewshai lthe first story: the one that creeps me out the second story: the one that made me lose my appetite for two weeks... the third one: that made me go huh? Japanese creepiness; love it or leave it... |
| User ReviewAndrew C5 stars to the middle story, -1 each for having to sit through the first and third. But that middle one -- damn! Funny, original, creepy. Great stuff. |
| User ReviewLupus DFirst film - 4 stars as it is pretty scary and interesting story plot. Second film - 3 stars as it is totally weird, bizarre, strange. Ever wonder how creepy it can be with this second film having a woman wearing a sack covering her head and body?? Third film - 2 stars. Average Japanese horror with the usual elements. 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 stars / 3 films = 3 stars in average. |
