Reviews

Critical reception to 'Dokurogeki: Atoaji no Warui Sasupensu' was mixed, with praise directed towards Rin Takanashi's compelling performance and the film's atmospheric tension. On IMDb, the movie holds a rating around 5.8/10, with viewers appreciating the suspenseful build-up but some criticizing its pacing and narrative complexity. A reviewer from Asian Movie Pulse noted, "Takanashi delivers a nuanced performance that anchors the film’s eerie mood, though some plot elements feel under-explored." Meanwhile, a review on Nippon Cinema remarked, "While the film excels in creating a disturbing ambiance and thought-provoking themes, it occasionally suffers from uneven pacing and a convoluted storyline." Rotten Tomatoes does not have a critic score available for this film, indicating its limited international exposure, but user reviews generally reflect a divided audience — with some lauding its originality and others finding it somewhat inaccessible. Overall, 'Dokurogeki' stands out for its psychological depth and suspense but may not appeal to all thriller fans due to its deliberate storytelling approach.
