Critic Reviews

Provocative rather than scary, and it's made with visual flair.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Unlike the elliptical, often explanation-free "The Grudge," Marebito is wordy to the extreme. Konaka's near-constant narration underlines every point the movie is trying to make, ruminating bluntly on the meaning of fear, and how we suck on media violence like, yep, vampires.Full Review

In casting about for new sources of fear, Marebito achieves its own level of mediocrity.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Shot in just over a week with a minuscule budget, this artsy thriller feels like a one-off from Shimizu's Ju-on films but is probably worth a look for fans.Full Review

Never gives us what it promised: a glorious, totally new sense of horror.Full Review
