I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
SLIT MOUTH WOMAN IN L.A. is a Japanese/USA collaboration in which a bunch of Japanese directors travelled to Los Angeles to shoot short horror films based around Japanese mythology. There are a handful of tales here all linked by the titular character who plays in support, but the truth is that these films have been made on an indie budget which robs them of professional talent. As such the acting is pretty stilted and the writing bog standard. The viewer is treated to the usual gamut of long-haired ghosts out of THE GRUDGE and RING along with a spoof superhero segment. It's low key and undemanding, but we've seen it all before and the budget is too low to do the subject matter true justice.
