EPISODE REVIEWS

Absolutely loved "Whispering Woman". My favourite part was that her legacy was left behind in a way. I wasn't expecting to see Soichi again, but the callback was a nice way to end the series off. I definitely need more of this series!

Episode Context

As the twelfth and final episode, this closes out the anthology season by circling back to familiar ground. Soichi's return gives the finale a sense of continuity rare for this format. Following Episode 11's 'Alley' and 'Headless Statue,' the finale opts for a psychological-horror-meets-dark-comedy pairing that encapsulates the series' tonal spectrum. There's no cliffhanger or sequel tease; this is a definitive cap on the collection.
