Based on a terrifying urban legend. CARVED: THE SLIT-MOUTHED WOMAN delivers a terrifying J-Horror experience with an intoxicating atmosphere and stellar practical effects. The film follows a small village and its citizens as they are slowly haunted and hunted by the titular ‘Slit-Mouthed Woman,’ a disfigured spirit that murders anyone that encounters it with a pair of large scissors. Alternatingly bone-chilling and stomach-churning, CARVED: THE SLIT-MOUTHED WOMAN is an excellent example of mid-2000s Japanese horror cinema and its remarkable power to transform mundanity into the stuff of nightmares.
