“A horror without well-developed horror and a romance story without satisfying romantic moments.”

“A thrilling masterpiece.”

“Amane does not only blend horror and eroticism fluidly together, but does so to deliver a satisfying critique of how social media eventually becomes a tool for male subjects to chase their phallic fantasy.”

A great sequel that delivers everything what Kajju fans desire, but in a less thrilling manner than the first reboot film did.

A fabulous and unique romance horror narrative that uncovers the often-forgotten truth that all speaking beings are driven by a desire to be loved/desire to love.
