Onibaba

Fantastic. Spooky. Funny. Great product! Really good!

Great Japanese movie! When of the all time bests! Alot of atmosphere and suspense!

Considering the time of release, a daring film to say the least.

Dark historical fable uses horror elements and psycho-sexual themes to examine the dehumanizing consequences of war.

Scary movie! Shows the innermost evil of mankind! Very dark, very moody!

A nightmarish tale of what people are willing to do to survive and the yearning to find their way back to humanity, Onibaba is small in scale yet breathtakingly cinematic in scope.

I appreciate that the movie sees its characters in their full beauty and ugliness which makes the horrifying ending more effective. There is a rawness here that I would like to see a lot of "elevated horror" of today be more willing to indulge in.

Very scary movie. It shows the true monster is inside us.

A remarkable achievement in Japanese cinema. The narrative, rooted in folklore and human frailty, is compelling, though at times can feel a bit repetitive. Its breathtaking monochromatic camera work by Kuroda and the haunting musical score by Hayashi create an unforgettable atmosphere that draws viewers into its dark, mesmerizing world. Overall, the film is a chilling exploration of human nature and survival wrapped in a visually stunning and sonically rich package. A must-watch for those who appreciate the artistry of filmmaking.

The story has a lot of depth and meaning to it, which I always appreciate, and I loved that the film plays out like a folk story, something you don't see all that often in movies. The movie moves at glacial speeds, though, and the pacing of the whole film just felt very disjointed. I also thought it was weird how every character was extremely horny without any real reason, and the film is just way more uncomfortable to watch than it probably should be. The film isn't really a horror movie either and plays out much more as a fantasy/drama as opposed to anything close to horror. Overall, not terrible, was just really let down given the premise and the glowing reviews.
