"Somehow, in the midst of turning his hit JU-ON movies into the upcoming U.S. film THE GRUDGE, director Takashi Shimizu found the time to helm another fright feature, MAREBITO. The digital-video production stars fellow Japanese genre filmmaker Shinya (TETSUO) Tsukamoto as Masuoka, a cameraman fascinated by fear who becomes obsessed with a man who has bloodily killed himself on a subway. His investigation leads him to discover an underworld full of supernatural creatures and to become involved with a girl who may be a creature of the night. Chiaki Konaka scripted MAREBITO; U.S. audiences shouldn't have to wait long to see it, as Variety reports that Britain's Tartan Films has picked up the movie for both U.S. and UK release. —Michael Gingold"
