Marebito

Audience emotional responses to 'Marebito' are dominated by a profound sense of Fear, stemming from the protagonist's descent into a terrifying obsession and the unsettling, otherworldly nature of the entity F. This is closely followed by pervasive Anxiety, driven by the film's psychological tension, the protagonist's deteriorating sanity, and the unknown horrors of the Tokyo underground. The movie is highly Disturbing, with graphic violence, the concept of F's bloodlust, and a bleak, nihilistic atmosphere. Disgust is evoked by the explicit depiction of blood consumption and the protagonist's gruesome actions. Curiosity also plays a significant role, mirroring the protagonist's own obsession to understand the source of fear and the mysterious F, drawing the audience deeper into the unsettling narrative. Confusion arises from the surreal, ambiguous elements of the dark fantasy and the protagonist's increasingly unreliable perspective.
