Viewing Notes

This is totally my thing for a somewhat abstract, lurid dreamstate atmosphere and story. I get why ppl would not like this at all but a 20 percent on TMDb is bullshit. Just some assholes out there rate hating.

This movie is kinda like a lesser Possessor even tho the story is nothing alike. It just shares some qualities that had me thinking of that film. Miyabi (Kaho Seto) has an interesting face that does so much for the mood in her expressions.

Would love to have a Blu release since the Screambox stream isn’t HD so the colors seem muted.
