Tempura

About This Movie

Tempura is a curious blend of animation and horror that really lingers in your mind. It follows Masashi and Takeshi as they search for their dog John—who they find, but not quite in the state they hoped for. The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling tension, with visuals that evoke a dreamlike quality, yet there’s a stark horror lurking beneath. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the dread to seep in as the boys confront the bizarre changes in John. The animation style is distinctive, with a raw edge that enhances the eerie themes of transformation and loss. It feels like a haunting tale akin to folklore, where the familiar turns into something grotesque and alien. Definitely an intriguing piece for collectors interested in animated horror.
