    Boyfriend and I watched Missing Child Videotape a day ago and I'm still thinking about it, very good slow horror film and it has one of my new favorite "my fucked up town" monologs.

    Missing Child Videotape is the 2025 movie that feels most like a J-horror from 2004. For better or for worse

    I reviewed Ryota Kondo's strong directorial debut, Missing Child Videotape, for In Review Online's NYAFF coverage. It's an eerie, intelligently designed work of J-horror. Recommended. inreviewonline.com/2025/07/22/m...

    Missing Child Videotape (2024) has some seriously haunting build up of tension. Very few horror films can seep the spooky stuff in as gradually and almost unnoticeably as this. Great film. 👌

    An evening trip to the cinema for me, to see a Japanese ghost movie called Missing Child Videotape, where a young mountain rescue volunteer returns to his hometown to find out the truth of what happened when his younger brother mysteriously disappeared 13 years before.

  • Alunauwie @AlunauwieTMDB reviews · Feb 28, 2026

    Missing Child Videotape unfolds as a quiet psychological mystery, following Keita as a resurfaced VHS tape and a child’s cryptic whisper reopen the unresolved disappearance of his brother. The film builds tension through guilt, subtle supernatural elements, and restrained performances, though several narrative details and character arcs feel underdeveloped. While its slow pace and muted resolution may not satisfy everyone, it leaves behind a lingering unease rooted more in sorrow than shock.…
