Hiruko the Goblin is a wild ride, blending comedy, fantasy, and horror in a way that only Shinya Tsukamoto could pull off. The film's atmosphere is off-kilter; you’ve got this school setting that feels ominous, almost like a character in itself. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it works with the chaotic energy of Hiruko, the goblin who’s part prankster, part harbinger of doom. The practical effects are something else—those spider-like demons are both grotesque and fascinating. Performances are a mixed bag, but that just adds to the charm. It’s the kind of film that defies easy categorization, making it a standout in Tsukamoto’s oeuvre and a curious addition to any collector’s library.
