Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The gloppy sound effects are so over-the-top, they invite laughter, and the bloodsucking scenes are allowed to become absurdly repetitious.

rotten:
It's actually a pretty lousy thriller.

Marebito is a disturbing supernatural drama that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

Marebito is no conventional vampire movie but a speculation into the notion that ancient people could sense alien beings in their midst.

fresh:
And if the trip doesn't have the clear-cut directions of a Hollywood film, it has all the ideas -- and cold, unsettling flights of fantasy -- of a nightmare, where faceless people look and look and look, but never see.
