 A delicately paced Japanese horror without the blood and gore May 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Inugami tells the tale of Miki, a quiet middle aged woman who is content with a simple life of making paper on the family estate in a rural part of Japan where superstition and social hierachies are all-important. Her life is suddenly changed with the appearance of Akira, a new teacher at the local middle school. There is an immediate spark between the two, and although Miki is hesitant at first, they begin a passionate affair. While an affair between a middle-aged woman and a young school teacher is enough of a social scandal, it turns out that Miki is part of a long line of women who are cursed with looking after the Inugami - evil spirits who must be appeased otherwise they wreak havoc. And it seems that somehow, Miki has angered them...br /br /To be fair, Inugami is more of a delicately paced mystery/psychological drama than a pure horror story. Although there are one or two shocking events, it is more the constant sense of unease, and the fact that you know something terrible is going to happen, that makes the film. However, the final act disappoints. A sudden barrage of exposition and a not-so-unexpected revelation that is quite distasteful almosts ruins what has been a delicately paced, un-nerving tale. I say almost though, becuase this film is worth watching.

New teacher Akira arrives at a remote village where he is introduced to Miki, a quiet paper-making spinster of the Bonomiya family. Not exactly the start you'd expect from a Japanese horror film, but we soon learn that the Bonomiya family is under a curse just waiting to be unleashed. Miki and Akira begin an affair and the Inugami, or "Dog God", a sort of vengeful family deity, is unleashed, causing death and madness throughout the village.pInugami stands out as a bit more literary than most of the post-Ringu flood of Japanese horror, though this has good and bad points. On the plus side, it allows for a subtler atmosphere and more in-depth characterisation; on the minus side, the actual horror itself comes over as less effective because less focused. Still worth a view if you're a devotee of J-horror, though the lack of focus can make it seem a little long, at 1 hour 45 minutes.
Confusing but still worth watching... May 20, 2005

One of Japan's strangest horror films ever. It's about Akira, a young school teacher who moves into a small village in northern Japan and falls in love with Miki a lonely woman (who's a lot older looking when he meets her but suddenly becomes ten years younger after they fall in love!) who makes the finest quality of writing paper but her family hides a dreadful secret - they are the guardians of the Inugami who are evil spirits and react badly if challenged. The film's not bad and the acting is great but it's the plot that's too confusing. I'd give it five stars but thanks to its odd plot I can only give it three stars. I mean it's a real puzzle trying to work out the exact relationship between Miki and Akira that angered the Inugami... well you can figure it out!
