Kokkuri-san: Koi Goku Edition presents a curious blend of college life and supernatural horror with an almost nostalgic feel. The narrative kicks off with Kaburaki Kyoya, a character steeped in self-indulgence, reconnecting with his childhood friend, Mayuzumi Noriko. The film’s pacing is deliberate, building tension through the slow unraveling of the Kokkuri-san ritual, which feels almost like a rite of passage for the younger characters. Practical effects are utilized effectively, adding a tactile quality to the harrowing moments. The atmosphere is thick with dread, enhanced by the performances that walk the line between playful and ominous. It stands out for its exploration of childhood fears and the consequences of dabbling with the unknown.
