Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman
Directed by Kôji Shiraishi
In this violent Japanese fright flick based on a popular urban legend, a disfigured female ghost begins kidnapping children in a small town. They call her the “Slit-Mouthed Woman” because a gash across her face gives her a monstrous appearance, similar to the villain in ICHI THE KILLER. When local kids start disappearing, two teachers realize they must stop her before their students wind up dead. Though Kôji Shiraishi's (GROTESQUE) terrifying tale owes a clear debt to CANDYMAN and RINGU, the devlish director manages to put his own uniquely perverse spin on the subject matter. (In Japanese with English Subtitles)

Proper Japanese horror movie. Not one that’s been Americanized and still holds true to the tale. Slow to burn as usual but worth the wait! If you like the older Japanese horror flicks, this one will not disappoint. If you want great effects and lots of action, this ain’t your jam.
fun little ghost story
If you don't go in expecting it to stick to the urban legend comepletely, then this makes for a good thriller. Very interesting and at sometimes touching.
Disappointing.
Hear me out… if you ever played GhostWire this would be the story of the tall woman with the coat n scissors 😅. It’s not so scary just slow burn suspense thriller.
