The New York Times by Dana Stevens
In casting about for new sources of fear, Marebito achieves its own level of mediocrity.
New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Never gives us what it promised: a glorious, totally new sense of horror.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Provocative rather than scary, and it's made with visual flair.

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.
Austin Chronicle by Marrit Ingman
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.

This all-digital indie is, by genre standards, either a misfired doodle or an attempt to Lovecraft-ize the popular movement. Or both.
An outrageous horror flick.
