Kyarakutâ

This is a reasonably good thriller, there are some good suspenseful scenes, the story is somewhat predictable but still interesting.

I can't speak about the dialogue because I watched it with english subs and they were probably not very accurate. And because of that I may have missed some point the script was trying to make, I don't know. For instance, the much-criticized ending maybe had some hidden meaning, some wordplay with the movie's title or something.

Acting was credible. Of course, there are cultural differences that will make some characters' reactions or dialogues seem odd. Nothing too serious, tho.

I think 6 is a fair rating, slightly above averange. Entertaining if you have nothing better to watch.

I waited for this movie to be on platforms for so long, it definitely didn't meet the expectations, the ending was poorly executed and the personality that was given to the killer felt a little too force. I don't know.

I wasn't expecting much and hadn't heard anything about this film before watching it. It surpassed my expectations. It wasn't the best film ever but probably the best thriller to come out of Japan in the last five years.

I watched this movie because I'm a fan of Masaki Suda. I've always considered him a great actor-even when he's in some offbeat or silly films, he still manages to bring depth and authenticity to his characters. In this movie, he delivers once again.

That said, there are quite a few scenes that just don't make much sense. They're executed well, and the cinematography is beautiful-as is often the case with Japanese films-but there was one particular moment (without giving anything away) that honestly had me thinking, "How the hell did that happen?"

Still, as the title of this review suggests, I stuck with it until the end. Despite its confusing parts, the film has enough compelling moments to keep you watching.
