Having said that, they do accept the return of their friend after nearly a decade really quite quickly.
So, perhaps theyre not the brightest kids in Japan.
Except, the hospital is weird and unoccupied, so they wait, and wait, and wait.
Each believes that they killed her and the stories quickly spill out.
From early in the film, there are weirdly effective, if slightly bizarre, moments.
In places, the film reminds me of games likeThe 7th GuestandThe 11th Hour.
Both games were replete with seemingly nonsensical dialogue, over-the-top full motion video and filled with bad acting.
At least those games were compelling.
This film is just nonsensical, over-the-top and bad acting!
Most importantly, of course, is the 3D version of the film.
So, is this an example of the 3D version being better than the 2D?
Will hidden depths be unveiled in the all important third dimension?
With the DVD, you have the choice of which version to watch.
Watch the 3D version and youll be hugely disappointed.
At least the 2D version just results in a sense of disappointment.
Each is a short exploration of the filmmaking and publicity process, offering (surprisingly) a behind-the-scenes look.
Haunted House and Scary Dummies shows the makeup work that went into the dummies sequence.
The extras involved are a funny bunch and the makeup is creepy.
The Secret of the Stereoscopic Camera looks at the use of the camera technology in the film.
The filmmakers are genuinely enthusiastic about the potential that this punch in of technology offers.
Venice Film Festival is a video made by the director as he visits the festival for the first time.
Nothing in depth here, and the unusually cheery choice of music does seem a bit odd.
The DVD also features the trailer for the film.
