Reception
Hayley Scanlon of windowsonworlds.com wrote that 'Black Rose Mansion' is "drenched in gothic melodrama" but "also succeeds in being both fascinatingly intriguing and a whole lot of strange fun at the same time."
In the book 'Rising Sun, Divided Land: Japanese and South Korean Filmmakers', author Kate E. Taylor-Jones writes, "In his use of people and characters that deliberately challenge the dominant ideology of attempting to 'forget' the war, Fukasaku is a fore-runner of later directors such as Miike Takashi who would also use non-Japanese characters to make comments on the state of Japanese society."
