Quick Hit

Horrors of Malformed Men has a clean hook and enough craft to carry the premise, which keeps it comfortably above water. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. 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 SOLID.
