After the madness of Final Chapter, Kudo, Ichikawa, and Tashiro (and the Kudo method, thankfully) are back and better than ever.

For me, this is a perfect Senritsu Kaiki File! episode without the really wild stuff, but still plenty of craziness. Kudo was right, this already feels like a massive step up from the original and already great Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! series, this really is Super. Funny, charming, endlessly enjoyable, even a bit scary near the start, but overall a really wild and batshit ride that captures the essence of what makes the series amazing.

This series is my favourite comfort movie series and this entry really fits that description. Very excited to see where this new arc goes.

Needed more Kudo. He was far too sidelined and all the best, most compelling, most interesting, and most entertaining parts of the Senritsu Kaiki series are focused on him (with the exception of Final Chapter).

Has a lot of interesting implications for the lore, multiverse, and the series going forward, kinda mad they ended on such a cliffhanger though. I hope we don't have to wait another 8 years for the next episode. Didn't expect to be watching a giant floating fetus eating a rapist alive but here we are. Lacks the dread some of the earlier entries was able to instil and also isn't quite as batshit as some of the others, the next entry seems promising though. Some really good moments but I felt like I couldn't care about the new characters introduced as much as I could in previous episodes.

Love to see the gang back together though, all the actors and actresses killed it, awesome to see Kudo, Ichikawa, and Tashiro (I mean it's not like we exactly saw Tashiro) back together.

Very compelling opening 40 minutes which slows down and loses steam as the episode progresses. Still fun as always and a big step up from File 02 of the original Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! series. Some really wild stuff happens in this one. Not as interesting as File 08 but a serviceable entry and sadly the last one for seven years.

The End of Evangelion of found footage

Beautiful ending for a great series. Man this goes places.

(Review written after watching the entire series):
This series is well and truly one of my favourite pieces of media ever and by far my favourite piece of horror media. Endlessly comforting, scary, ambitious, batshit crazy, endearing and likeable, disturbing, and infinitely intriguing. The universe Shiraishi-san has built is so complex and interesting it has been over a decade since it started and somehow it still becomes more intricate with every entry.

Jin Kudo is one of my favourite characters ever, partially thanks to the amazing performance by Shigeo Osako, but let's not forget the rest of the fantastic cast, Chika Kuboyama's Ichikawa and Shiraishi-san's Tashiro. It wouldn't be the same without any of them. Due to some circumstances that happened while making my way through this series, it is pretty personal to me as well, and solidified itself as my favourite piece of comfort media.

Thank you, Kudo-san. Thank you, Ichikawa-san. Thank you, Tashiro-san. Thank you, Shiraishi-san. You have created, in my eyes, a masterpiece, very close to my heart, and I will forever be grateful for it. Please release File 11 soon though, I don't want to wait too long.

Well...
It's over. But we will meet in a new world. This is just the beginning. We'll see you later. Thank you very much.

Absolutely wild, its crazy where this series went, you'd never expect it based on the first three. The vfx is very goofy but it has its charm.

Huge for the lore and Kudo's character, definitely not the most terrifying movie in history but has some of the best moments in the series and found footage in general from what I've seen so far. The climax has one of my favourite scenes I've seen in a movie. Kudo method is back and maybe gone too far...

Not as good as the toilet ghost one but easily the second best in the series, I really like the direction it's going in. Kudo method came back ? I hope to see more of it in the next ones. Great exorcism scenes and more really wild visuals in the climax reminiscent of the previous one.

The camerawork and the acting in the whole series is really good, the acting is really believable and you forget they are acting.

Promising second entry

Slightly less interesting than the first but still good, some cool shots and still very goofy and amateurish. Some fun moments. I am interested to see where the rest of the series goes.

Promising second entry with good performances from the cast. Like the first, it is still not scary at all. Kudo is a very fun character though.

Huge step up from the previous three and one of the best found footage movies I've seen if not the best, tbh I was not expecting the best one to be the one about a toilet ghost but this got wild. Really intense with really crazy and well done visuals and a good plot the whole way through that really kicks off after you see the "from this point on this footage is unedited".

Super super interesting and I'm super excited to see where the series goes.

Getting better

Great final fifteen minutes or so but slower and less creepy than the previous entries, kinda hard to make a kappa as creepy as a human ghost and the slit-mouthed woman ig. Still as goofy and as amateurish (in a good way) as the other two before it, the Kudo method always comes in clutch ?I'm very excited to see the next ones, this series shows a lot of promise.

Not very scary but very interesting and engaging horror movie with a great premise and an interesting execution. Constantly keeps you guessing. Great ending and some good acting I always love to see Kippei Shiina.

Doesn't overstay its welcome or try too hard to be scary, which I'd say is a good thing. I would recommend if you think it looks interesting, but don't go in expecting something scary or even that creepy.

Fun but not scary

Not very scary but fun found footage, the first in a long series of movies that I'm excited to go through. I like how amateurish the characters and movie in general feels. Decently made despite its obvious low budget and leans into the low budget to add to the amateurness. I trust Shiraishi to make good stuff so I'm sure this series is gonna evolve.

Shiraishi-san needs some professional help... this movie is definitely not sweet.

If this really was actually all one take that is seriously impressive. Everyone needs to be congratulated for that, the actors and Shiraishi (being the cameraman) especially.

The start is great and the ending is fantastic, however the stretch between it was a tough watch, and kind of devolves into a mess of sex and violence in a way that reminded me of Sono's Cold Fish and also disturbed me in the same way, I am not one to seek out or enjoy disturbing movies. I would not recommend this (or Cold Fish for that matter) to people for this reason.

I really did like the ending a lot though and it almost makes up for how I feel about the events prior. Almost.

I much prefer Occult overall. Also, this appears to be connected to Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi??? Poor Tashiro, he can never catch a break.

More than it looks at the start, but not an action movie

If you are watching this for the action, this movie will be lackluster. The first 45 minutes or so play out like a decent but formulaic action movie but evolves into a slow-paced search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world which culminates chillingly into one of my favourite and most memorable movie scenes I've seen recently.

That scene and the ones directly leading up to it for me are perfect, but my score is lowered by a stylish but generic opening and an overly melodramatic ending which was good but not as good as the previous scenes.

A perfect beginner found footage movie

Creepy found footage movie with a well done and engaging mystery which unfolds at a perfect pace with the perfect amount of information being revealed at each opportunity.
The visuals are very nice and all the actors performed well in their roles.
The last few scenes are fantastic. If you think the movie looks interesting, I recommend, but don't go in expecting something very fast and scare-heavy, it is more creepy and tense and the movie is fairly slow but I never found it boring.

Fun and fresh movie that is more than it seems

Very fun and clever, a very nice surprise and an easily recommendable feel-good watch.

The start was slow, some people seem to hate it but I didn't really mind it, and it is made ten times better by the ending. This goes in many directions I did not expect but I had a great time and going in blind is a good idea. Definitely something I'd like to rewatch.

A ton of fun with a ton of heart, 100% recommended.
