🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This special builds a classic whodunit puzzle within the framework of Japanese folklore, relying on the legend of a monstrous bird to stage a series of elaborate murders. The plot constructs a tight circle of suspects in an isolated town, exploring the tension between rational deduction and superstitious fear.

What lingers after the final reveal is the clever intertwining of myth and method, a reminder that the darkest legends are often shaped by human hands. The satisfaction comes from seeing the logical threads untangle the supernatural premise. — MovieFinder Editorial
