⭐ Featured Review

The lack of power in dialogue.
by my_first_last2020-06-22
4/10

"The premise of "Kotodama" seems interesting enough; mysterious things begin to happen to a group of friends, and these paranormal events seem to be linked to the class of 1988. In truth, Kotodama tries to intertwine different storylines into one setting, but it lacks any continuity or substance beyond the premise. From beginning to end, the storyline seems to be in "auto pilot" mode and doesn't go anywhere, even the resolution is lacklustre and poorly done. The film is devoid of effective scares or atmosphere. However, props to the director for filming a horror film ..."

💡 Did You Know?

Kotodama literally means "the spirit of language" or "the power of words" and refers to the Japanese belief that mystical powers dwell in words.
