Title: High School Ghosthustlers Post by: Warren H. on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM I think the "paper streamers on a stick" thing is actually of some spiritual significance in Japanese culture. I have seen similar things pop up in other Japanese movies about ghosts and whatnot.
Title: High School Ghosthustlers Post by: Mecha-Godzilla on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM The stick with paper streamers is the Shinto (sp?) equivalent of holy water. They are consecrated ritually, and thus act as a ward and weapon against demons, spirits, ghosts, and whatever else qualifies as a supernatural bad guy. There use ranges from exorcisms to mear ritual purifications. (Am I wrong?)
Otherwise, I'm glad I did'nt see this one. Sounds like its only usefull as a sleeping pill substitue. ^_^ Title: High School Ghosthustlers Post by: Stephen Payne on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM The ultimate "Ghostbuster" rip-off in this film is that all the girls look like their wearing the Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man's sailor suit.

I'll did it if I can find this movie... Title: High School Ghosthustlers Post by: tyron on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM How to make this movie good:
Fill it with hardcore porn. Take out the rest of the movie. Title: High School Ghosthustlers Post by: Ariamaki on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM Well, although I admit the film had a budget that would emberess Ed Wood, one fact is this:
This stick with the streamers is actually CORRECT, and not a budget fault. A streamer-bearing rod is one of the major tools of a traditional Shinto exorcism, and they got that part dead-right. On the whole, a great review of a putrid movie that is great to watch for that very fact. |
