| Marebito | comment |
Marebito a 2004 movie by Takashi Shimizu, the director of Ju-on; The Grudge. The screenplay was written by Chiaki Konaka.A man obsessed with fear finds his way into a warped underground labyrinth world, is menaced by "Dero" ("Detrimental Robots"); and rescues a feral girl (who he names F) who turns out to be a vampire, who he keeps chained up in his apartment, and feeds by killing other people and draining their blood. But is that really happening? Do any of them actually exist? Is the girl real, perhaps his own daughter who he abuses and treats like an animal, while he kills people to feed his own delusion? Or has his detachment from reality actually enabled him to stumble into a real alternate, quasi supernatural world? The ending completely refuses to resolve any of these questions; leaving them up to the viewer to answer. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Marebito / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Masuoka. It is never entirely clear whether what the audience sees is real or if Masuoka isn't just completely insane. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Marebito / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Masuoka's entire quest is inspired by witnessing a man stab himself to death at a subway station. His goal is to feel the safe fear that he saw in that man's eyes. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Marebito / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents. Maybe. Towards the end, it is implied that F is actually Masuoka's daughter. If this is true, then that means he's been keeping his own daughter chained up and cut off from the outside world. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Marebito / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The deros are taken from the writings and conspiracy theories of Richard Sharpe Shaver. Masuoka has a whole conversation with Furoki's ghost about Shaver, the history of Hollow World theories, and the like. When arriving at the underground mountain range, Masuoka refers to them as "the Mountains of Madness." Masuoka also compares F to Kaspar Hauser, a German man who was allegedly also raised in total darkness. | |
