A fun whodunnit, part Young Sherlock, part Abominable Dr. Phibes, 22 November 2007
Author: Dancing_Bear from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Hajime is the grandson of a famous detective, but he hasn't got the desire to bask in the light of his grandfather. He is a student with a typical guy profile, chases girls and plays a little hooky. The local cop calls him a 'brat', which is probably a bit of too much authoritarian adult oppression. Hajime is not a brat, he is trying to enjoy life in a free style. But after accepting a group invite from a fellow student, somehow Hajime ends up at a haunted hotel with a number of other people. It seems they are looking for a 'good scare', since there were rumors of vampires in the past, and now the rotting hotel 'Ruin' is a tourist attraction, although seemingly not a very popular one, quite off the beaten path. Some are ghost scoffers, they just want to show that there is no such thing as a spook. Before long, the vampire makes an appearance and they find themselves trapped in Ruin. Will Hajime overcome his disinclination to become involved in matters that he feels should be left to professionals? Or will he lend a hand and help solve the mystery? Kazuya Kamenashi is his usual lively self, and while this isn't a nightmare-inducing film like Ringu, the vampire really is nicely scary. It would make for a fun Halloween night for mystery buffs.
