In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is just...not a good movie. I saw Shimizu-san's name attached to this project, I found it on Shudder entirely by accident, and I got excited, but this movie looked from the very first frame like it was filmed by a high schooler-- and it only got worse from there, but in a strangely enjoyable way? Like, this movie was a train wreck in every conceivable way, but it was so damn funny! I know I don't sound very scholarly at the moment, and my intention with taking up IMDb was to become a better viewer and therefore writer of films, so I feel like this review is a staunch failure on my part. But I just don't know what to say about this film other than it really looks like the special effects were made with Photo Booth.However, in spite of objectively being one of the worst films I have ever seen, it's strangely endearing-- though I'm confused as to why Shimizu-san was attached to this project? I know his recent films haven't been exactly good by most people's standards, but this makes The Shock Labyrinth look like a Scorsese.Anyway, bottom line-- watch it and laugh. It's only an hour and three minutes long and it's terrible.
