Gannibal Season 1 movie review
Kuge Village and the Goto . family
The anomalies of the mysterious Kuge Village are reinforced by the existence of the Goto Family that has great influence over the local area. The power of the Goto Family in a small village feels quite strong from the first encounter with Daigo complete with their hunting weapons.
A track record is also mysterious, making it difficult for Daigo to discover what the Goto family is actually doing in the village, so all villagers who happen to be not members of the Goto family must obey. by strange rules.
The festival in Kuge Village becomes climax when Kuge Village also learns of the Goto family’s secret and tries to cover it up. The characters of Keisuka and her brother Yosuke may be the key to the Goto Family and the outside world.
Keisuke’s Dualism
The key character who always interacts directly with Daigo is Keisuke. From the first meeting when hunting bears became a contradiction. Keisuke seems to hate Daigo as he investigates his partner who has mysteriously disappeared. However, on the other hand, Keisuke often saves Daigo so that his family’s secret is not disturbed.
From the very beginning, Keisuke is the bridge between the police, who constantly harass his family, and the Goto family, who are always angry. Keisuke’s steps seemed vaguely directionless. Furthermore, the presence of Kano Sumire (Kita Kana), his son Kano, who was in charge before, has a special relationship with him.
In the final round, this secret of Keisuke’s nature will become clearer. If you follow all of Daigo’s investigations, Keisuke becomes the crux of the story that holds the secrets of the Goto Family.
Beautiful little Japanese village
Although this is a horror and thriller movie, the tension in some parts is relieved when seeing the beautiful village atmosphere. If there were no cannibalism issues in Kuge village, perhaps things would be very interesting. Plus the villagers are very friendly at first, aside from covering up the Goto family’s secret.
It’s a bit monotonous, the place is used in a small village. Mysterious places in the interior of the village, including the forests, add to the terror that still mysteriously haunts the village. The addition of “That Man”, a mysterious figure that until the end remains unsolved, becomes the scapegoat that adds horror to several spots in the village.
Conclusion of the movie Gannibal Season 1
The mystery of the Kuge Village and the Goto Family is the main highlight of the horror of ‘Gannibal’. The main character Daigo, whose ambition to solve the case makes us crazy, wants the secret about the Goto family to be revealed soon. Some key characters like Keisuke become the fulcrum that makes the story go in any direction.
Using the context of a village in Japan, which is already beautiful, unintentionally adds to its own horror. In addition to being far from the city, there are still quiet places, such as forests, rivers, caves, etc.
