Kyle M @RT77296778 3 days ago Periodically barbaric with metaphorical tendency tackling societal survival and grief then silent freedom in karmic matters amidst underlying collective poetry, with the questionably frightful categorization emitted by resonance and naturally lighted chills. (B) See more Homu L @AkemiLord 6 days ago Very good Japanese horror. I loved watching this! Fantastic little experience! Has a very messed up view on humanity, but its art. See more Mary J @mussowe 6 days ago Onibaba is a fantastic film; filled with all kinds of gory darkness and splendid camera work. It's almost hypnotic in the way it moves, and stunning realized in gorgeous black and white camera work! See more Wayne K @WayneKelso Oct 7, 2026 A fascinating premise that makes for some great thematic material, Onibaba is a film that managed to lose me for long stretches. It’s an interesting film but not an especially engaging one. There’s very repetitive segments, including the musical score, and some of the conversations feel obvious and inane. It’s a film that really keeps you on the outside, never letting you into the characters minds. We’re often just told what they’re thinking rather than being allowed to form our own interpretation. I loved the way it looked, and the material lends itself to some very creepy moments and thought-provoking questions. Sadly the 3rd act descends into kabuki theatre acting, with everyone screaming and yelling their lines, something I’ve never liked in Japanese cinema. Not one I can see myself revisiting at any point. See more Andruski H @RT66215316 Oct 3, 2026 Great movie. Despite being a supernatural movie towards its latter end, Onibaba's strongest aspects tend to be on a more human psychological level. Whoever wrote the script knows very well how to implement character writing and psychology which is impressive for a almost sixty year old film centered around two women. The only reason I didn't give this film full marks is firstly because mainly to my preference for escapist heavy occultism, alongside general reachability.
