Goose bumps (2013)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2013
Director: Koichiro Miki
Actors: Mitsuki Tanimura
Country: J
Genre: Thriller
Conditions of visioning: 12.09.2013, Sao Jorge Theater, MotelX2013
Synopsis: Built like a series of scary stories all linked together via Mitsuki Tanimura, a young women working in a call center.
Review: In some of the stories, the link is not clear and /or the story itself is not clear. The others are quite good shot with the usual white light for indie Japanese movies. Inspired by series of the same director, this collection of episodes is nice to see, because you have different types of thrills, even if most of them are linked to stalking.
There is no marking music except one classical one. For a thriller, to impose rules like no special effect nor over-acting nor deviation from normal life is really good and is even very effective in the thrills because it makes feel the story as if it could happen to you.
Rating: 5 /10

  1. I had a hard time following the story, maybe because I was tired. But the exercise is interesting and as you say the rules make the movie more real. But there seems to be no message or point to the story. Same rating for me: 5/10.
