I watched Marebito. Can you please explain to me wtf the ending was about lol, i'm so confused.

+ Show Spoiler +

All i got was that the dude murdered his wife, and that somehow the vampire girl was his daughter who he abused cuz he was batshit insane.

Then he somehow fast forwarded into the future, was homeless, and then returned to the apartment where the vampire girl was still there. Then he returned with her to the place he found her, and is really scared for some reason or other.

This is why I don't like japanese horror sometimes haha, I feel like a lot of the symbolism/imagery flies over my head and i have no idea wtf is going on. Same thing with A tale of Two Sisters.

Audition was badass, remember watching it years ago.. Pulse was decent, after all the hype of the ring.. When i first watched it, it was crazy dissapointing imo.. The grudge however scared the crap out of me.

Marebito ending interp:

+ Show Spoiler +
I've always interpreted it a bit like Silent Hill. That the happenings in the movie are sort of psychological manifestation of the guilt he had been repressing. That he had killed his wife and mistreated his daughter. He then returns to the underground, a sort of personal hell for him. He had been seeking death/fear as a sort of penance and he finally finds it in the end.

Also, I'm really glad everyone liked Noroi.

Like I said, it's not that scary but it's a great movie.

Noroi question:

+ Show Spoiler +
what happened to the actress? She was sent with Hori to the hospital, Hori died but then nothing else was mentioned about the actress.

Marika or whatever her name was? I didn't think she was an actress but I may have missed that part. I was under the impression, given the her smile in the last shot of her face, that she was okay.

It's implied she has a happy ending. The curse no longer follows her.

No. In the final scene the woman groaning is Keiko, Kobayashi's wife.

Well wasn't there a scene after they perform the ritual and the camera man takes the actress home, then she starts groaning so the camera man pulls over and the actress goes batshit but manages to regain sanity. After that, it was narrated that Hori (because he went haywire too) and the actress were sent to the hospital (Hori was later sent to a mental institute), Hori dies but I don't recall anything happening to the actress after... The Curse was supposed to be lifted but she still had haywire moments and the demon is still alive.

she comes back and says the curse hasn't affected her anymore and it's implied she lives happily ever after although who can be sure

I had the same thing but with The Shining. It completely turned me off of horror movies as a result

having said that, Noroi does sound really interesting. Maybe I'll stop being a pussy and watch it one of these days

I was like this with JuOn (The original, not the crappy Buffy remake.) I watched it during my first year of university and my housemate came downstairs at 3am to find me ravenously devouring a packet of custard creams with all the lights on, and a total inability to get out of my chair, let alone go back up to bed. It scared me shitless.

(I do consider myself a horror movie junkie too. I've seen most of the movies in this series of blogs and definitely at least 100 Asian films including a lot of Takashi Miike's work.)
