Letterboxd — Your life in film

Visuals resplendent and thoroughly bonkers, it's a movie that challenges both your understanding and patience. Your mileage may vary, but I was onboard for the wild ride.

Not as strong as Bustillo and Maury's other outings like Inside and Deep House, but still a creative and creepy surrealistic take on the haunted home invasion sub-genre.

Twisted, terrifying, and tedious. A experimental experience, roughly 20 minutes too long.

Preposterous and completely nonsensical. And not in a fun way.

Your enjoyment will hinge on your willingness to accept one enormously implausible decision on mom's part. And I wasn't buying.

The characters are a little shallow, the visual effects a little rough, the story a little too straightforward, but still a solid entry in the deep sea horror sub-genre.

It feels like the movie isn't really sure what to do with its intriguing premise, never fully embracing its supernatural underpinnings. The result is an underwhelming and woefully unscary horror movie.

Any sequel (or prequel) is going to be hard-pressed to match the original's deranged twist, but Orphan: First Kill does its unhinged best on its way to a deliriously frenzied finale.

All too familiar scares delivered in uninspired fashion enroute to an overly melodramatic ending.

A very enjoyable though somewhat insubstantial homage to classic Hammer Films.

Director Ryûhei Kitamura revisits the same ground as his earlier No One Lives, but with more sympathetic characters - and an ending so ridiculously over-the-top you'd be forgiven for assuming it was parody.

A police lieutenant uncovers more than he bargained for as his investigation of a series of murders, which have all the hallmarks of the deceased Gemini serial killer, leads him to question the patients of a psychiatric ward.
