How many times is a horror movie actually horrific? GOTH shows a unique perspective with its characters and reveals that the concept of death can much more than just morbid.

Pros:
- The atmosphere is unique and strong, with its over exposed light shot giving off a dream-like aura
- The story is interesting, as it shows the characters looking at death as something more beautiful rather than morbid
- The main female character, Morino, is fascinating and her story is tragic and beautiful
- Some of the graphic images shown are incredibly unnerving and help give the movie an authentic feel, which adds to the experience quite a bit

Cons:
- The plot feels very fragmented near the end due to relying heavily upon symbolism and indirect deeper meanings behind actions and words
- While the metaphoric presentation is cool, it seems inconclusive and a little unfinished

Final thoughts - This is one that makes you stop and reflect after viewing. The experience at face value is pretty good, but when you ponder the deeper meanings, the movie gains more appreciation.

It is certainly non-conventional and the presentation may not set well with some, but this is a surprisingly deep and fascinating movie to those who wish to stop and think about it.
