Compared to some of the trashy Japanese slasher fare that passes as entertainment, Museum stands hair on edge without resorting to tons of fake blood or gruesomely realistic offenses to the body.

Museum is a film that has a lot of potential but unfortunately squanders it through a predictable script and very few twists that are not seen from a mile away.

"Museum" is a great crime thriller, in a genre that seems to have been placed in the background of the Japanese movie industry, and a truly rewarding cinematic experience, in blockbuster style.

Keishi Otomo's latest feature squanders an effective first half by devolving all-too-willingly into generic and violently indulgent territory.
