Trick Shinsaku Special

About This Movie

Trick Shinsaku Special is a peculiar blend of comedy and mystery that really plays with the absurdity of its premise. Picture this: a group of professors, each with their quirks, trying to debunk a spiritualist who claims to predict deaths. It’s a slow burn at times, but the tension builds nicely as one by one they start meeting their fates, which adds a bizarre layer to the humor. The introduction of Yabe's Otaku assistant, Akiba, brings a refreshing dynamic to the mix, injecting some much-needed energy. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, work well enough to enhance the mood. It’s a unique take on the genre that feels like it could only come from Japanese television.
