Cast: Gô Ayano , Marika Yamakawa , Ryô Narita , Anna Ishii , Yukino Kishii , Edward Bosco , Amber Lee Connors , Lucien Dodge , Doug Erholtz , Kellen Goff , Paul St.Peter , Seiyô Uchino
Plot: Truth and illusion blurs when a homeless amnesiac awakens from an experimental medical procedure with the ability to see people's innermost traumas.


My Movie Review: The movie is horrendous thus extremely unpleasant sightings make colder feel even into a hot lights in the dark very different from the usual but a welcome sensation run! Homunculus is amazing the ability to see people's past trauma and help them deal with it is, beautiful if graphic depicted as the special effects needed support its very imaginative premise! The main actor does a stellar job but I was even more fascinated by the mercurial performance of the actor that plays the medical student a thought provoking if gritty movie so glad I found it:) Netflix premiered this new Japanese horror film called "Homunculus" on April 22, 2021, based on the popular manga of the same name, "Homunculus" stars Gô Ayano as Susumu Nakoshi, a 34-year-old amnesiac man who lives in his car occasionally socializes with the homeless encamped in a nearby park and gorges on big swathes of the menu when he deigns to go out:)

Critic Reviews: "An attempt to offer something fresh to the horror-table, but one that, sadly, fails to blends its pleasing parts into a whole that truly engages and pleases the spectator."  I'm not overstating it in saying this borders on nauseating." Homunculus" has some good points, but Takashi Shimizu is definitely past his prime, the adaptation is faulty once more, and the SFX and Go Ayano are not enough to salvage movie that ends up aggressively mediocre. I'm not overstating it in saying this borders on nauseating as pales in comparison to its source material, indulging in visual effects and wackiness but losing sight of human drama. longer the film goes on, the harder it is to say who "Homunculus" is for pales in comparison to its source material, indulging in visual effects or wackiness but losing sight of human drama. Homunculus on Netflix is a thriller fantasy movie from Japan it's very dark and has a beginning that I loved as this movie is based on Manga which shows in a terms of both characters and plot summary!
