Top review. These reviews are better than the movie! I've unfortunately lost most hope in "horror" movies these days and learned not to have too high of expectations. So I tried to give it a chance.. I tried SOO hard with this movie. I really did!! I'm embarrassed for everyone involved. Details Edit.

From the outset, I knew nothing about the series that preceded this cleverly structured and engaging animated feature from Harpo Sotozaki.
The demons feast on human beings, so when they are charged with investigating some terrible goings-on on the "Mugen" night train, they encounter quite a bit more than they bargained for Its good fun, this - the story mixes action and character development quite effortlessly, and the standard of animation is consistently high culminating in quite a compelling twenty minutes at the end.
I did find it a little too long, but for the most part the interweaving timelines and the sparing but effective use of dialogue made for an enjoyable film to watch.
The colourful creativity of the art work works better on a cinema screen; the details of the drawings - light, shade, shadow - especially during the latter part of the film really does lend itself to big screen exposure. The soundtrack isn't bad, either - it compliments rather than dictates the pace of the story leaving us with a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining piece of cinema.
Three people one of whom may have a boar's head or may just be wearing a mask are junior demon slayers on a train with a demon problem. I like Japanese animation and I like horror-oriented stuff so, without knowing anything about this, I was expecting to enjoy it simply from the title. However, I knew nothing at all about the history of this particular franchise, and the film assumes that the average audience member is very familiar with quite a lot of continuity from manga and TV.
The film appears to start during a story which has been going on for some time, with characters who you are already supposed to know. This seems to be borne out by the enormous success of this film in Japan. I found it really, really hard work. There are certainly some amazing visuals, but there are also some of the worst Japanese animation tendencies on display - overlapping still frames, close ups of eyes and tears with gently vibrating outlines and so on.
Some of the characters - much loved, no doubt - are bizarre and unsympathetic. The storytelling might be effective, but not if you have no foreknowledge. This was a disappointment. Months before the Demon Slayer TV series hit Netflix UK,I became aware of the film version,after seeing on Charting with Dan Murrell reports of it breaking box office records in Japan,at a time when think pieces were claiming that the death of cinema was about to take place.
Finding just one showing taking place at my local cinema,I got set to at last board the train. View on the film: Revealing that season 2 of the show will follow the aftermath of the movie, the screenplay by the "Ufotable" team adapts Koyoharu Gotouge's Manga with a gripping continuation of the hero's journey which Tanjiro Kamado is on, which is tied into nightmare lucid dreams that blur the lines between the demon slaying Horror fighting with Enmu,and the personal demons which haunt Tanjiro's memories.
Not limited in this case to the runtime of under 30 minutes that each episode has, series director Haruo Sotozaki makes a dazzling feature film debut,with spectacular,ultra-stylised hand-drawn animation drawing the Gothic Horror demon slaying across the screen,as slick panning shots run across the colourful, detailed battle sequences.
Cleverly,using CGI in a limited manner, Sotozaki blends the contrasting formats to paint a depth of field in the spectacular Akaza becoming one with the train,which goes off the rails towards an explosive, emotionally charged final confrontation between Akaza and Rengoku, as Tanjiro wakes from his nightmare to slay a demon.
