Written and directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Starring Kumiko Aso, Haruhiko Katu, Koyuki and Kurume Arisaka.
Plot: ghosts invade the world of the living through the internet.
Taguchi has been missing for several days, so his co-worker, Michi (Aso) goes to see him. He’s been working on this computer disk and seems disturbed when she visits. So disturbed that while she’s talking, he goes into another room and hangs himself. Elsewhere, a young man named Kawashima (Kato), signs up for the internet and is immediately shown unnerving pictures of people he doesn’t know. Also, his computer keeps coming on by itself.
The movie is very confusing and it jumps back and forth quite a bit. The convaluted BS is the main reason we didn’t like it. Also, we didn’t know the rules really. If there were any. It was kind of a WTF kind of movie. Not our cup of tea. There were some creepy parts though, but not enough to save the film.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
