One of my favourite horror films of all time; the last third especially creeps me the hell out.
Yes, there are some plot holes, pacing and character development issues. But… That laugh… It still lives in my mind, echoing from decades past.
It truly takes a master like Honda to make a film so immediately iconic (yet criminally underseen!) with a concept that could be, at face value, pretty silly. But silly concepts taken completely seriously, and then pushed to their absolute limit, are my absolute JAM — and what I’d hope to achieve as a filmmaker.
Maybe a remake is in order.
