Asura

May 29, 2021

I was just looking for something to watch with less runtime that's why I started watching it.

------------------ THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS --------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right off the bat, I started feeling bad for the pregnant lady and her kid. How hungry one must be to feed off a rotten human body. She even tried to eat her newborn baby, it broke my heart. But it really was just the beginning. At this point, it was getting hard to keep watching. It might have even triggered my anxiety. 

The story revolves around a boy later named "Asura" from birth. From his birth, he lived a tragedy. It was heartbreaking to watch. I think the movie did well in capturing the "beast" residing in the human heart which comes out in extreme situations, for example, poverty; not having anything to eat or drink. 

The ending tho was unexpected, I didn't see it coming and it was absolutely heartbreaking. 

The characters of the movie look straight out of horror films xd. But it does suit the mood. The animation style is gloomy and dark which is just perfect for this movie. 

For a movie with 75 min runtime, it was not too bad. 

7/10 story
8/10 animation
