Mononoke the Movie: The Phantom in the Rain

Movie 2024 90 min Animation, Fantasy, Mystery Last reviewed 4 Sep 2026
Official Rating M ClearAge 13+ Quality ★★★★☆

Our take

Mononoke the Movie: The Phantom in the Rain is a stylised Edo horror set in the women's quarters. Expect apparitions, palace rivalry, a death in the household, and some flirting. No real swearing. Fine for 13+ who can handle spirit horror. Sensitive kids will find the palace ugly

Story (may spoil tone)

In the chambers of the Edo harem, two newcomers uncover political intrigue, rivalry and a vengeful spirit only one traveling medicine seller can vanquish.

Talk after watching

  • The palace pits women against each other. What does that do to anyone new?
  • A spirit is the symptom. What does the film think made it?
