Drifting plot and story.

I guess the movie lives up to the title as the story, plot and characters drift around. You have no idea exactly what is going on. I have been informed it is based on a popular Manga ...where the director toned down a lot of the dark creepy stuff.. remember, this movie does have soem dark creepy stuff happening! The manga is volumes long. They tried to condense the massive story into 2 hours. That usually doesn't work out as in this case.

Would I watch it again, sure. Would I recommend it to anyone.. .maybe. But only because the name Ôbayashi does tell me some effort into making it good is usually there.
