She doesn't really know Iris has killed people until after it's heavily implied she's under its control.


* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Irys. Is he a monster who drinks the life force of living beings with reckless abandon, and torments Ayana with memories of her family being killed, or a tragic case of Ayana's hatred twisting a guardian’s psyche to the point that it doesn't even know that what it's doing is wrong? The film doesn’t give an answer for either interpretation, leaving it up to you to decide.

* TrueArtIsAngsty: This is the most critically acclaimed film in the franchise. It's also the absolute darkest and most horrific. Of course one should note that the film ends on a note suggesting that we ''have'' to have optimism and hope that Gamera can win out over evil in the end.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While the CGI varies in quality, the movie has some of the '''absolute''' best suitmation, miniature and puppet effects in the entire genre and is a testament to just how truly great the effects can get when utilized to such an extent. There are some genuinely striking and awe inspiring shots in the film.
