marebito kick off the danger after dark segment of the philadelphia film festival tonight . i be at the first show and eagerly await a new film by the director of ju on . in a short introduction by a festival host and i learn that the film be shoot on all digital film in just 8 day immediately after film the grudge . the story of marebito be quite basic and but the delivery be sloppy at best . the film be split between clean digital film and a very dirty and grainy digital film . the grainy digital be suppose to be the main character camera that he carry with him . everything in the film be hand hold and although it give the film a very realistic quality and the shaky camera get old quickly . by the end of the film and i have the feeling that this be more of a poor student film and shot on a cheap dv camera with sloppy technique . also and nearly all of the movie be do through voice over and which seem more than lazy . throughout the film and shimizu miss many opportunity for scary moment or intrigue idea . he have many interesting thing go on like the telepathic homeless man and the deros and the underworld and the man on the phone and the fact that masuoka can see the dead ( sometimes . wtf . ) and his need to murder for f and the twelve second of miss tape and the smashed camera and the woman in the window and and the wife . however and instead of use each of these element to their full extent and they be all abandon in favor of show f suck lot of blood . that pretty much the majority of the film represent watch f suck blood with a voice over . so many intriguing element be simply forget by the director . when the film finally fade to black and i be highly disappointed that absolutely nothing be resolve . overall and it seem a though this be a film that pose many question and but offer no answer .
