Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman

Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman is a 2007 Japanese horror film based on a ghost story from the Edo period that had a revival in the 1970s where there were sightings of the woman. This movie has a strong element of depictions of physical abuse of children by their mothers.

via Youtube:



HorrorNews.net has screen shots, a plot summary, and concludes, "A top contender for becoming a classic, Carved is a story that adds a new mythos into the horror arena. Creepy and smart, Carved is a winner!" Bloody Good Horror calls it "a surprisingly competent flick."

    I'm off to watch this now. Abuse by any name can never be glorified. I hope the horror is about the mother of an abused child. Thanks for the links.

      I don't generally care for stories that have child endangerment as a major feature, but this was an interesting film -especially because I like the ones where there's a real-world connection. I hope you liked it :)

      I hope you find it interesting. I'm a fan of Japanese and Korean horror films.

    Eyes haven't been up to subtitles. Heart is not up to child abuse at the moment, either. ;)

      I have trouble getting past child-in-danger plots, too. I didn't realize until I was already in the movie.
