So, 'The Slit Mouthed Woman' from 2022 really dives into that creepy Japanese folklore surrounding Kuchisake-onna. The film's atmosphere is thick with dread, capturing that eerie sense of urban legend come to life. It's a short film, but it manages to build tension nicely—pacing feels deliberate, pulling you into its world without rushing things. The practical effects used for the titular character are quite striking, giving a raw, visceral feeling that CGI just can't replicate. Performances are grounded, and they help sell the terror of the story effectively. It’s a neat little piece that plays with cultural fears and does something fresh with an age-old myth.
