The good folks over at IGN have given us all an early Christmas present. They’ve got an exclusive look at the first 8 minutes of MAREBITO. Now Ammon pointed you towards the trailer last week, so don’t be scared to check that out too if you missed it.
The basic concept of the flick concerns Masuoka, a cameraman possessed by the craving to understand fear, as he wanders the Tokyo streets, a voyeur, hungrily looking for clues. Obsessing over the haunted expressions of the faces he has captured in his daily filming, in particular a man who committed a grisly suicide on the metro. He returns to the scene to better comprehend the dead man’s reasoning.
Following his final gaze leads Masuoka to a door, an entry into a bizarre, cavernous underworld. Here among the ghosts and the subterranean robots called DEROs he finds a beautiful young girl chained to a rock. Saving her from her imprisonment he takes her home.
Watching her from his webcam at work each day, he begins to suspect there is something truly inhuman about this girl with sharp teeth and who walks on all fours. When he begins to uncover her horrifying secrets Masuoka realizes that he has found the key to gaining the terrible knowledge he so craves.
So it’s time to check out the clip, eh? Enjoy!
