Marebito Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The gloppy sound effects are so over-the-top, they invite laughter, and the bloodsucking scenes are allowed to become absurdly repetitious.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It's actually a pretty lousy thriller.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
It's not really scary, but it reaches a level of insanity so unhinged and dispassionately wretched that it defies description.
Dread Central
Andrew Kasch
Marebito is a creepy and effective experimental film and certainly one of the year's best offerings.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
Shimizu has done what compatriots such as Hideo Nakata have not yet managed to do: make a contemporary Japanese horror movie that has some new ideas in it.
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Shimizu doesn't quite achieve the ostensible goal of Marebito's verite style and purposefully low-tech execution: to pervert our sense of what is real.
The Hollywood Reporter
Richard James Havis
Marebito is a disturbing supernatural drama that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
By the end, the story's ambiguities begin to cancel each other out, leaving us with no good readings rather than a multitude of valid ones.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
The year's least frightening horror film.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Marebito is no conventional vampire movie but a speculation into the notion that ancient people could sense alien beings in their midst.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Shot on digital video as murky as Masuoka's imagination, its creeping sense of dank dread is as slow to build as it is hard to shake.
Reel.com
Kim Morgan
The look of the film, and the gore, meld into the real and unreal of this hero's journey. But the journey is muddled, and at times unintentionally funny.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
For Japanese horror aficionados only, and even they are likely to be underwhelmed by this stew of half-baked ideas and creepy sensations.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
An outrageous horror flick from Japan.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Marebito never gives us what it promised: a glorious, totally new sense of horror.
CHUD
Devin Faraci
Marebito feels like it's twice as long as it should be. It feels like an episode of a horror anthology show, stuffed to make it feature length.
L.A. Weekly
Tim Grierson
Plot specifics are so muddy that part of the fun is getting lost in the narrative red herrings.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Marebito, a piece of soft-core trash disguised as pop art from director Takashi Shimizu, marks a new low in the genre.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
This all-digital indie is, by genre standards, either a misfired doodle or an attempt to Lovecraft-ize the popular movement. Or both.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
What begins as a smart J-horror update of Blowup quickly turns into a sick joke.
