Homunculus delivers an interesting premise that I think makes some solid observations about trauma, how it can linger longer than we realize, and what the costs of dealing with it can be.

"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."

"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 a movie that ends up aggressively mediocre.

The longer the film goes on, the harder it is to say who "Homunculus" is for.
