The Feel Good Part
Fatal encounter with inhabitants of forest is a long stapel of Japanese Film Industry. A slasher movie, with obnoxious young adults get their bloody end – what’s not to love there! Gruesome rituals, cannibalism, cult like factors everything makes the movie a great suspense-horror. A very fast based, dark comedy movie with some deadly serious points make this one an amazing execution. And the cherry on top of all is the midway twist and the humors.
The Disappointing Factor
There is not much negative points to discuss. But the characters could have more deep reactions and arcs. The fighting scenes were really lengthy and boring.
