Quick Hit

The Living Skeleton throws horror 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. 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 BAD.
