Inunaki, le village oublié

Not as bad as alot of people say. There were alot of scary moments which give you great goosebumps but visually it was weak. It could have been more scarier visually. Overall good horror flick comparing to the modern horror releases. Give it a try!!

I was expecting a lot of this movie. But had to be disappointed since the opening scene of the story. I'm a little confused,that this is a movie about ghosts or zombies? For the character 'Akina'(opening scene) I think she is good at acting. She Making feel haunted and terrified with her ,even when the scene is in the daytime.

The element of the film that I am impressed with are color-design Creating an atmosphere and haunting background music (song like the nursery-rhyme).

But for the story part . Although it didn't confuse me. But it make me frustrate. Seems to be trying to bring the issues together too forcefully .I don't understand- 'Why did the movie have to include this part?' I think in some parts it doesn't look scary. But out of the story.

It's possible for a movie to be both effective and kind of a mess at the same time, and in my books, this describes Howling Village. A few cool, genuinely creepy scenes mixed in with some muddled storytelling. Some good effects, some cheesy ones. More time spent in the titular village would've been a bonus. Overall, not a horror classic but not a waste of time, either. Worth a watch.

If you compare it to what Hollywood is churning out. Some form of family/friends entering a new home and facing horror, then this one is a refreshing change to that pattern.

Here the story is somewhere in Japan. Some teenagers visit a forgotten and hard to find place named Howling Village. There's the anticipation there exist ghosts. To their surprise the teenagers found out, that this is exactly the case. Pretty scary ones as well, so they ran in panic away, but the girl which was courageous amd funny until then, couldn't shake away the experience she just had. Not long later she commits suicide and her boyfriend wants revenge a d turns back to the place. He goes missing and that sets in a chain of events that are not very friendly to the town...

Some creepy parts and the story is interesting throughout the movie. The ghost town is a nice idea and there's a twist in the end that might not be your thing.

Inspired by a Japanese urban legend, Howling Village is the first installment of Takashi Shimizu's "Horror Village" film series.

Some plot elements shouldn't have to be in this film. They dragged the storytellling on a different path. With a fantastic cast Takashi managed to create a new J-horror experience.
