Reviews

By Alunauwie

Creepy, adapted from Yutaka Maekawa’s novel, is a chilling psychological thriller that blends mystery with a touch of horror through the story of a detective uncovering a series of senseless murders. While the film offers strong performances—especially from Teruyuki Kagawa—some character decisions feel illogical and frustrate viewer expectations. Despite its flaws, Creepy delivers an unsettling message about trust, curiosity, and the hidden dangers of seemingly ordinary neighbors. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com)
