Quick Hit

House of Terrors (Kaidan Semushi Otoko) throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is a little thin. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. 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’s enough to push it into SOLID.
