Looking back onto Kakurenbo I can see exactly why it scared by younger self. The creepy and unsettling movement of the demons as well as the use of lighting are vital in creating an unnerving atmosphere that sets your stomach with dread. I won't rip on the characters, they aren't exactly given enough time to develop, however their age is exemplified by their size and the fear found in watching these young children run around the ruins. The concept isn't original, however the presentation and the attention make it a lovely film for Halloween that I know will make it into my October playlist
