In fact, within five minutes of the movie opening I had guessed most of the elements of the outcome, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'll make no bones about it: considering that it really was made on the lightest of shoestring budgets as an apparent V-Cinema production, Lovesick Dead (aka Shibito no koiwazurai, or, in a bizarre twist of mad renaming, Love Ghost ) is an amazing piece of work: beautifully shot with stylish visuals, charmingly acted and very entertaining, with genuinely creepy little tinges from time to time that take you by surprise.Īdapted in part from a Junji Ito manga of the same name, Lovesick Dead has a fairly predictable storyline. Directed by Shibuya Kazuyuki, 2001, 95 min., starring Ryuhei Matsuda, Risa Goto, Hitomi Miwa, Asumi Miwa, Kumiko Akiyoshi, Miki Itou and Saitou Yousuke.
