Has a few bouts of japanese folklore-themed weirdness (thrown in a Takashi Miike blender) in the typical adventure format. As interesting as that sounds, it's somehow barely worth the time.

Ótimo! sinceramente não pensei que Miike fosse capaz de fazer um filme "infantil", sem perder o seu estilo, mas sim, ele conseguiu! O roteiro é ótimo e os tais yokais (monstros do folclore japonês) são um destaque a parte. Realmente consegui me transportar para esse mundo maluco e fiquei satisfeito.

Surprisingly perverse for a kid's movie, or surprisingly straight for a Takashi Miike movie? Either way, lightweight but fun hokum, with great monster design.

hahahah WHOA!

The explosion of happiness is unforgettable. I'm certain even the lowest scoring criticks will have had smiles on their faces when the chuckling yokai blastwave approaches the screen. Big Mirths

i'm the only person in the world that loved this movie

Nothing special until the last twenty minutes or so.

A lot of fun. Play a lot of Japanese video games and you may end up recognizing half the yokai in this.

I can't understand how it's possible to not like this. It's a ridiculously epic fairytale by Takashi Miike revolving around the most far-out monsters I've ever seen. The costumes are incredible, the story is somehow really likable and it features the cutest "cat" ever put on film. How I have only a 55 PSI on this is beyond me. Living a life where you can't enjoy a film like this must be quite boring. Sure, it's predictable, but.. one of the monsters is a goddamn umbrella. It's just awesome.

very underground

Watched this one with a friend for free with On-Demand. The fact that I did not spend anything to watch it did not help a bit.
