Quick Hit

The Demon of Mount Oe throws occult on screen with real nerve, but the finish is more rough than ruinous. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.

Full Take

This one swings hard at occult and only sometimes connects. The craft is either locked in or hanging by a thread, and this movie knows it. 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.
