Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Its sluggish pacing and confusing story line will prevent it from appealing to all but the most rabid J-horror fans.

rotten:
... a technically impressive but altogether listless revenge tale ...

rotten:
Pic scores big in the first few minutes with its atmospheric lensing of the protag's literal separation into two distinct characters, but then settles into a standard psycho-killer payback drama.

rotten:
The envelope gets recycled, not pushed, in this moody, brutal, ultimately rather boring revenge saga from Japan.

fresh:
The Neighbor No. Thirteen forgoes the manic violence of the Korean revenge stunner Oldboy in favor of leisurely paced suspense with sudden bloody outbursts.
