Black Cat Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Gorgeously stylized supernatural folktale revenge film.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
With Kuroneko, Shindô obscures the thin line separating the dead from the living-through which spirits, sin, and passion move freely.
DCist
Ian Buckwalter
A masterpiece of quietly creepy Japanese horror.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A ghost story that's more eerie than unnerving, and often hauntingly lovely.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
There's a witchy, atmospheric timelessness to the movie that extends well past the unadorned sets.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
The film morphs into an obsessively regretful dialectic that trips into tragedy after lugubrious, otherworldly speculation.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
The combination of moody, widescreen, black-and-white cinematography, an unsettling pace, and chilling, hyperbolic performances makes for the sort of horror film that manages to seem classic and fresh at the same time.
Scene-Stealers.com
Eric Melin
Kuroneko is one of the best supernatural horror tales ever made, and it has tons of spooky atmosphere to spare.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Cinematographer Kiyomi Kuroda's silvery atmospheric camerawork in "Onibaba" has taken a turn for the theatrical here, with deep shadows and dramatic lighting that serve this story as beautifully as his more naturalistic work in the prior film.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
moves fluidly between the cinematic invisible and the overtly theatrical, mixing impressive tracking shots and dexterous editing with attention-grabbing devices like rear-projection
L.A. Weekly
Michael Atkinson
Shindô's evocation of the central haunted bamboo grove is all night shadows and luminescent mist.
Midwest Film Journal
Evan Dossey
An eerie and gorgeous horror film
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Michael Nordine
The relationship between the object of our fear and our comprehension of it might be best described as a sliding scale, and Kuroneko suggests that it is in the realm of the uncanny - of knowing yet not knowing something - that true fear lies.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Nippo-Gothic horror fables have a long tradition of proto-feminist outrage... Kaneto Shindô's Kuroneko may take the cake.
Boston Phoenix
Gerald Peary
With an invidious black cat meowing about, Shindô's movie, elegantly shot in widescreen black-and-white, melds Edgar Allan Poe and Oedipus Rex, all in sight of the legendary Rashômon Gate.
UR Chicago Magazine
John Esther
Because of the film's look and feel it has developed a sort of cult status and will be greeted voraciously by those who like their films politically reactionary
The New York Review of Books
J. Hoberman
The movie's implacable sense of poetic justice is only equaled by its graphic smarts.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
expressionistic and hallucinatory
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
Serious movie buffs and die-hard horror fans alike will want to see Kaneto Shindo's elegantly dream-like story of earthbound violence and otherworldly revenge, rooted in Japanese folklore and shot in shimmering, widescreen black-and white.
Vague Visages
David Pountain
Kuroneko's otherworldly visuals evoke a reality shaped by great and sinister powers, and a world where fate will always scupper the impudent plans of hubristic men.
