Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. trashgang – ★★★★☆
   “Still another one of those Japanese flicks that hasn’t got a proper release at this writing. It’s only available on VHS so far and if you want to catch it you will need your network to catch a copy.”
2. HumanoidOfFlesh – ★★★★☆
   “A weird and unsettling psycho-s&xual horror movie about a woman who moves into an apartment complex near the river. Her closest neighbors are truly bizarre and psychotic characters.”
3. Nakata_fan – ★★★☆☆
   “A more subdued Hisayasu Satô movie in terms of s&xual activity, but Night of Body’s Model is no less potent when it comes to showcasing how loneliness and isolation can make those with severely diminished mental faculties lash out in terrifying ways.”
