Quick Hit

Shinin No Sosei (Resurrection of a Corpse) is a proto horror piece whose value comes down to control, pacing, and payoff. You can feel the medium learning its own nightmares.

Full Take

Formally, the film is built on gothic mechanics and period technique. The film earns points for clarity of intent, then loses some on drag or thin characterization. It feels like cinema inventing horror in public, one trick-shot at a time. The compressed runtime makes every effect choice visible. Overall, that places it in SOLID.
