Grey Crow

About This Movie

Grey Crow, a 2015 drama, has this haunting vibe that lingers long after viewing. It centers around Tamae and her camping club, who venture into the mountains, drawn by the eerie legend of a long-nosed goblin—a figure with a tragic past, haunting those burdened by guilt. The atmosphere is thick with tension, the pacing allows for a slow burn of emotional build-up, letting themes of grief and guilt simmer. The performances of the young cast carry a raw authenticity, enhancing the unsettling feel of the story. What stands out are the practical effects used for the goblin, which lend it an almost tangible presence in an otherwise serene backdrop. It’s a curious blend of folklore and coming-of-age that feels distinct.
