marebito be certainly good than your average u slasher flick and but do not expect much more than that . at the start and with the emphasis on voyeurism and record death and vicarious experience and it teeter on become something impressive and somehow relevant to the omniscience and nihilism and anonymity of the digital age . but the horror aspect of this film completely ruin it . what begin so intriguingly become suddenly farcical and more akin to a sub par episode of buffy the vampire slayer . both the wouldiscovery of a fantasy underworld and and then the clumsy frankenstein narrative and be irredeemably hackneyed story line that the director attempt to conceal behind portentous dialogue and edgy security camera footage and a naked young woman . like a lot of style over substance j horror film and the plot eventually come to rely upon inexplicable twist and mysterious appearance that may excite some people interest but in reality be the sign of bad writing and a half baked story that can be modify with ease because nothing significant be take place anyway . a for the hollow world philosophy it beg belief how pretentiously the film take this and a if it have hit upon an entirely new idea . underworld and however and be a staple of horror movie while back this one up with the obscure work of an early 20th century sci fi writer doesn not make it any more exciting or screen worthy . overall marebito be disappointingly poor . beautifully shot and atmospheric in place and all that and but artistically inert after the first twenty minute and no more enjoyable than countless film that cover similar ground with much more panache and cinematic touch . it be the work of a complacent director and the product of a genre that all too easily lose itself in it own idiom .
