Occult Detective Club: The Doll Cemetery poster

The last in the Hideshi Hino anthology I still needed to watch. Though most of the films are pretty amusing, the limited budget really clipped the wings of the participating directors. Occult Detective Club is no exception. While there are some fine ideas here and horror fans are sure to have a good time, it's hardly a horror masterpiece.

The plot is pretty basic, probably the plainest of the 6 parts. The moody lighting and some weird characters do add a bit of intrigue, but the cheap-looking camera work and the poor performances keep this from receiving a better grade. Decent horror film with a couple of remarkable moment, but not quite consistent enough.
