Quick Hit

The Secret of the Telegian either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands well below the line. The visual discipline keeps it sharp.

Full Take

The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. 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 the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
