Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. c h r i s – ★★★★★ “Very much my kind of Lovecraftian SOV Japanese monster flick clocking in under 40 minutes which in turn has plenty going for it.”

2. Lou (rhymes with wow!) – ★★★☆☆ “A short-ish movie from Japan where four girlfriends encounter/fall victim to a tentacle monster, while vacationing in a secluded holiday home. Contains kills with lots of goopy gore and a monster that stepped straight out of a campy 50’s B-movie.”

3. Ian West – ★★★★☆ “It’s hard not to admire a ero-guro Prince of Darkness. Needs more Guzoo… but I can’t fault this for that because this is the best kind of sleazy tentacle decadence.”
