Verdict on Bakemono
Bakemono is a horror following different guests at a mysterious Airbnb. Each guest starts to experience unusual events leading to an encounter with a monster. However, each story offers a different definition of what the monster wants.
This is a series of disturbing uncomfortable and horrific stories. It is told in a strange way, where we quite often have a couple of stories going on at once, which can be frustrating as we don’t get enough focus on the shorter stories going on. When I say this, it is almost condensing 3 short stories together, before moving on to another 3 short stories. Where this movie excels is with the effects and the creature creation. It is one of the most disturbing creatures you will see this year. The movie never holds back and leaves you shocked by everything you experienced.
Final Thoughts – Bakemono is a disturbing and uncomfortable monster movie.
