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.

Mecha-Godzilla

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.  ^_^

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 liked it. Could have been made into an anime and it would have been the same thing.

I usually run from all things Japanese (I have a chum who EMBRACES all things Japanese, and he sorta tortures me.)  But dizzamn, this movie looks cool!  Horny ghosts...japanese schoolgirls...sounds like the perfect film to waste a night on.

If someone have this movie (and/or know the realtitle in japanese) can he/she please add it to the IMDB?

I'll did it if I can find this movie...

How to make this movie good:
Fill it with hardcore porn.
Take out the rest of the movie.

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.
