EPISODE REVIEWS

Shiver has a very good potential to become a well-written mystery script. House of puppet is a good episode too, though I wish they had given the girlfriend another ending.

Shiver is classic trypophobia ep. House of Puppets is creepy in concept but gf did not deserve that

Episode Context

Sitting at the one-third mark of this 12-episode anthology, Episode 4 continues the series' pattern of dual-story adaptations following Episode 3's 'The Crossroads Pretty Boy' and 'Slug Girl,' maintaining the escalating variety of Ito's horror sensibilities. The pairing here leans harder into psychological dread than prior entries, broadening the collection's tonal range. Episode 5 carries this momentum forward with 'The Ongoing Tale of Oshikiri' and 'Cloth Teacher,' signaling the anthology is settling into its rhythm of alternating between supernatural and human-driven horror.
