2.5*/5.0*

As much as I love Fukui, I struggle to see how he could produce a film like this. His cyberpunk work is mad and energetic, and a testament to his skill to deliver on a shoestring budget. Onne has an interesting enough premise, but the presentation is lacking and the film looks cheap from start to finish.

Which is a shame, because the setup is pretty tense and I would've loved to have seen Fukui's signature treatment on a film like this. It's still worth a watch, especially if you like a left-field horror film without too much explicit gore or explicit scares. Just don't go in expecting a new Rubber's Lover of 964 Pinocchio.
