feh . this movie start out in an interesting manner and but quickly run the gamut from confuse to dull . the confusing part happen mostly at the beginning and where the cut scene be so numerous that it hard to tell just what be go on for the first twenty minute or so . the dull come later and with a tepid romance between the two living people ( puss both ) . the vengeful spirit of the dead girl be actually the most lively person in the film and which be sad . if the rest of the cast have be up to her caliber and the movie might have be well . maybe . because the storyline get really interesting for awhile and a it appear that the insane priestess mother of the dead sixteen year old girl be try to resurrect her daughter from the dead and with the decidedly unfortunate side effect that all of the other dead people would come back as well and take on solid human form and and most likely start kill off everybody . a sort of japanese mystical night of the living dead type thing . but this doesn not come to pass . even though this hairy unwashed priest with a tiny basket strap to his head tell the uninteresting young people that this will come to pass if the priestess finish her ritual and she do just that and the only dead person who manifest be her daughter . no mass rising of the dead and no walk army of corps and nothing . the priest merely make the girl spirit go back to the land of the dead and take the wash out wuss of a boyfriend with her and a she would crush his spine like peanut brittle ( at which point i be tempt to cheer loudly and a this idiot go over to kiss and fondle the dead girl and and ewwww . ) . the robitussen sucking and spineless best friend have a long introspective shot at the end a she leave the village for the last time and and that it . no real horror and no real creepiness and which the japanese tend to do far good than american film maker with their emphasis on over the top cheesy face make up and no scream mimis . i be very disappointed .
