“amazing time. totally bonkers movie with a chaotic tone and good old school japanese horror tropes that I love. the thing that makes this one stand out though is the beautiful set design and cinematography, there are some shots in this that are straight up jaw dropping.”

“An utterly unique and absurd film. If you enjoy film at all as a medium, you should watch this movie. You may not enjoy it, but it is so entirely unique to itself that you are not likely to find another movie like it.”
