Really good. Half scary, half suspense. It's knda disappointing that you can see what's going to happen just imaginating it, but the movie deserves to be watched. And it makes justice from the japanese legend of the slit-mouthed woman. All the story, from the begining to the end was interesting, even the individual story of every character.

I decided to watch this movie to get to know more about kuchisake-onna legend on Japan so I've searched about it and the movie did not disappoint me with the adaptation . It couldn't make me fear the lady but provided me a good scare. Really liked the effects and the acting was really good ,plus the characters story and the main one were very well elaborated. The only thing I did not like was the way she fought, just too ridiculous.

This is now one of my all time favorite films that deals with horror. I thought the story was really good and the characters were really cool too. The story and music really sent chills down my spine, and i don't usually get scared easily, but i have to admit, seeing that lady's face totally made me want to jump an inch.

I rated all of it a 10 because the story was so scary and the cast and acting was so real, it would make you want to think twice about wandering the streets alone, especially if your a child, as you don't want to be by yourself, especially if a strange women in a coat with scissors pops up and asks you if she was pretty. Most especially if she wears a mask around her face.

and in the end it did leave a message, especially if your a young single mother: always treat your kids with kindness,love, and respect, and never take your anger and emotions out on your kids. Otherwise they might end up missing, or might end up like the male protagonist's siblings. And that could be a scary and grim situation.

i recommend watching this film if you want a film that would literally send chills down your spine (even if you don't get scared easily) or one based on Japanese folklore as this movie is based on the Japanese legend (pretty similiar to Candyman and Bloody Mary).
You should definitely watch it. You won't be disappointed ^_^

Last night I actually planned to rewatch To All the Boys: I've Loved Before and P.S. ILY then proceed to watch Always and Forever but I stumbled upon this instead after my friend send me a Kuchisake Onna picture and I got curious because I haven't watch it... I hate it when curiosity has to be paid for on the spot.

It's not disappointing my choice but kinda feels mixed up because it's a bit different from the legend I've heard, then the dramatic injection that makes it looks ridiculous for me.

Kuchisake Onna design i can say it's good but i think the slit not long enough, and the actress who played her looks creepy. Then how she give a terror was good because she possessed a body of living human, so when our main characters thought she killed Onna but the body suddenly turn into the owner of the real body and fortunately Onna only prefer mothers from what I noticed here.

Overall, I'll say it's mediocre but Koji Shiraishi has given me a great horror film in the form of Noroi, I am thankful for that. Aftet watching this, actually I feel like I want to try to watch another from his filmography.
