Par H @Parhwy 3d Homunculus (2021) 116-minute-long Japanese horror I saw on Netflix in July 2026. I enjoyed the concept of this film, the CGI associated with the concept and the cinematography working to convey the story and its weirdness. I didn’t find this horror whatsoever, it was more weird-world stuff with some blood, some gore. The plot and resolution rests on convenience and coincidence is enough of a way to make me scoff quietly. Again, I still enjoyed the concept. Did I miss clues flagging the ending? Possibly? I raise this because the ending is not at all what I expected and while it was heartbreaking, I was still somewhat taken aback about: not deceived, more… perhaps the film’s end made me reassess everything I had seen in the last 100 minutes. Nonetheless, two conveniences/coincidences were too crucial in helping the story progress. Rewatch? Yes. Recommend? Yes. 6/10.

A bad, bad movie. Do yourself a favour and skip it. See more Aluna U @RT14704568 Sep 26 Homunculus presents a visually compelling and emotionally intense psychological thriller, supported by strong performances and a unique concept rooted in experimental neurosurgery. While the film delivers striking plot twists and an intriguing opening, it leaves several critical story elements underexplored—such as the mysterious homeless man’s influence on Nokoshi and Ito’s unclear motives behind his obsession. For viewers unfamiliar with the original manga, these gaps may cause confusion, yet the film remains a thought-provoking experience with a bold and eerie atmosphere.

It's sickening. See more 02/24/2022 As someone who didn't read the manga, I really liked this movie. The plot was solid, cinematography perfectly captured the mood ( minus the SFX), and acting held up. My only gripe would be the devolpment in some of the characters was a little shady, with the main character doing some bad stuff with it being presented positively. See more Read all reviews
