Reviews from Letterboxd

1. Outrage — ★★★½
   “Worth it just for the mid-90s internet visuals and s-tier broken English.”
2. DungeonSkramz — ★★★
   “Didn’t expect a film from 1994 to already tackle the dark web practices of sharing illicit photos, but it sure got unnerving.”
3. BjorkBoobah — ★★★½
   “A good V-Cinema flick by Kazuya Konaka but it could’ve been a great one if it leaned harder into it’s subject matter.”

5. ModernLoreGamer — ★★★
