    A really great and for the most part, accurate translation from the anime to live action. If you are a fan of the anime definitely give this a view.

    I did not like this film at all because I was never scared when watching it. It didn't make me believe that anything paranormal was going on. Like in the beginning the guy in the control room directing everyone on what to do and telling them good acting. It just gave me the sense that these people are faking a paranormal haunting in a fiction movie. Like I was just wondering the whole time was this all set up to make it look real by the team, are they all just acting like they're scared? I know in real life these are actors acting out a paranormal investigation but I just couldn't believe they were playing people carrying out a paranormal investigation actually being haunted. Even towards the last 30 minutes when stuff gets interesting, like the team leaders finally admit they were faking (we totally knew that was coming) it fails to be horrifyingly scary, interesting but not scary. Although this is coming from a person who has viewed alot of horror genre films so I might just be numb to this film.

    The dialogue lacks the weight of the comic and the acting and editing is choppy.

    I'm mainly a big fan of the anime Tokyo Ghoul, and this live action really worked for an adaptation. As we all know, it follows up with young Kaneki Ken, whose origin doesn't go well. Massacre and blooodshed when discovering a ghoul named Rize, thirsty for blood. And then after that experience, his internal organs are replaced with Rize's, and now he is unable to eat human food, but he can eat raw human, and has the powers of Rize's ghoul. The event really captured that exact same formula, and whether you like it or not, this movie is recommended for those who have great taste in proper live actions, and Tokyo Ghoul fans everywhere

    Very deceptive opening - two characters are very shy, awkward people who seem attracted to each other. Then it gets very dark and gruesome very fast. Ghouls are presented as the top of the food chain, looking human and retaining familial "humanity" but evolutionarily above humans, and there's a lot implied about the position humans have over other forms of animal protein. Being a fairly recent (two years) convert to vegetarianism, I found that element compelling. After an interrupted, and thus non-fatal attack by a ghoul, Ken Kaneki finds all conventional food unpalatable, and he learns that he's beome half ghoul, one eye red, the other human. Kinda like Marilyn Manson. So he wears a patch. He's introduced to the world of hunger for human flesh and feeding territories. He finds a support group of sorts. Public policy is to exterminate ghouls, and there are some pretty nasty hunters with lethal biotech, but ghouls are all around, depicted as if they are drug addicts, not obviously identifiable, unless you catch them in the act of feeding. But is human-type loyalty to friends more powerful than hunger? And do creatures at the top of the food chain sometimes prey on each other? I like many of the small details, like even ghouls relish coffee, and the "support group" called Anteiku recognizes Ken's split identity, and want him to work with them, because they want to interact with humans. Japan is depicted as a place where adults have few or no friends, so it's easy for someone to disappear, when feeding is necessary. Community is rare, so ghouls establish theirs as they can. The socially conscious ghouls take advantage of suicide sites, to avoid killing anyone themselves. Quite a social commentary. This started out as manga, then as anime, and if you research it, there are mixed feelings about this cinema treatment, but generally it's considered reasonably faithful. If you come to this with no expectations based on other media, it works pretty well as disgusting, kinky and thought-provoking horror. The best kind.
