Brand new factory sealed dvd, original Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles.
Ryosuki is a Luddite: how else to explain a Japanese college student at the dawn of the 21st century who has yet to take the high tech plunge? Reluctantly, he buys his first computer, to finally merge on the fabled Superinformation highway. Hooking the thing up proves to be a bear, so he turns to the hottie (Koyuki) who runs the campus computer lab for help. His question: Why does his computer appear to be haunted--as in, consistently logging itself on to a web site that looks in on the Underworld, where the faces of the dead stare back at him?
The movie is maddeningly vague about what is actually happening. The best theory proffered in the film is this: the afterlife is full up (think 'Dawn of the Dead's tag "When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth"). At first, the overpopulated underworld merely bleeds into one small room of this world. An intrepid man tries to seal the ghosts in it, closing up every possible crack around doors, windows, etc. with some red duct tape (a barrier to the supernatural), but he's missed one critical spot: the haunted room's got a phone jack, and the spirits use it to flood into cyberspace.
