Mieruko-chan

About This Movie

So, Mieruko-chan, huh? It's this intriguing horror flick where we follow Miko, a high school girl suddenly cursed—or blessed?—with the sight of spirits. The atmosphere really nails that eerie, unsettling vibe, and Miko’s strategy of just pretending they're not there adds a layer of dark humor that keeps it interesting. It's not all jump scares; there’s this slow-burn tension, especially when her friend Hana gets involved. The practical effects on the spirits are pretty striking too, more grounded than you'd expect. Plus, the performances are solid, particularly from the lead. It’s a unique take on teenage horror, blending the mundane with the supernatural in a way that feels fresh, yet familiar.
