Kuchisake-onna (2007)
A creepy urban legend
Kuchisake Onna is a solid horror film, which tries to impress with its creepy atmosphere, and interesting storyline.
The acting is ok, there are some good scares, and its quite bloody.
Unfortunately, a lot of potential has been wasted, otherwise this would have been a great horror film.
Total score: 6/10.
Kotoko (2011)
A Masterpiece
Tsukamoto's "Kotoko" is a disturbing, Heartbraking, and shocking masterpiece, with great images and cinematography.
This film describes the nervous breakdown of a single mother, who suffers from severe mental problems, such as paranoia, double vision, anxiety and deep depression.
Her mental state is shown very differently throughout the film. Her state gets better, when she sings or is near her son, otherwise she is paranoid, anxious, and self harming.
Throughout the whole film, her state gets all the way worse, represented in both shocking, and beautiful images.
Cocco's acting is phenomenal. As a viewer, you can really feel what she is going through. When she is singing in her soft and calm voice, you can really calm down for a while, otherwise you are in a state of constant discomfort.
The camera shows off her mental health in either a really shaky, or a really calm camera work.
The film has no soundtrack, but thats not necessary at all.
This film is not for sensitive persons, it shows shocking and disturbing images of self harming and paranoid behaviours. This film needs your whole attention, otherwise you dont get into it.
Story: 10/10
Acting: 10/10
Cinematography: 10/10
Camera: 10/10 (If you dont like shaky, found footage like movies, dont watch this)
Total score: 10.
