Quick Hit

Genocide throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is thin. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.

Full Take

There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Japanese horror of this period tends to sharpen image, rhythm, and ritual into something meaner than it first appears. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at BAD.
