Reviews
"Lust in Hell: Edge of the World" received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.2/10, indicating a lukewarm reception. Some reviewers praised the movie for its atmospheric cinematography and its attempt to intertwine traditional Japanese ghost story elements with modern horror techniques. The film's mood and visual style were often highlighted as its strongest points. However, criticism was directed toward the pacing, with several reviews pointing out that the narrative sometimes felt slow and lacked clarity in character development. The plot's complexity was seen as a barrier for viewers unfamiliar with the original folklore, which limited its accessibility. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a critical consensus for this film, reflecting its limited international reach, and Metacritic has no substantial score or reviews recorded. Overall, while the film offers a visually distinct horror experience, it may not satisfy all viewers due to its storytelling style and execution.
