Quick Hit

Inferno of Torture throws occult on screen with real nerve, but the finish is underpowered. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.

Full Take

The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. 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 why it lands at BAD.
