Saw this on freevee November 2022. This movie starts out with a familiar premise: Ghosts are real but we need evidence. Cue spooky place with doors welded shut.
Now, we've already had some clues. The bit where kids get into spooky place and get killed sets us up for a picture on one of those link charts where a girl hides a picture of her with her brother who was one of the missing kids. No one can know she has a personal connection to this investigation! Later she tries to question Meg Foster about this and gets shut down by a guy who clearly knows about this. This is the last you hear of it.
Meg Foster befriends Kraven, shielding him from consequences of his actions and later teaches him how to leave his body. Why is she shown later in a photo administering ECT? She stopped him from getting that therapy!
Also, what are we supposed to think about Kraven? Did he learn how to project himself? Is Mole Man him as a ghost? He certainly seems very corporeal. If he is a ghost why does Meg feed him? If he's not a ghost why has he not aged? Why superhuman strength?
And seriously, why was this guy not medicated into a stupor? Haldol, anyone?
Any plotline disappears after that but the killing supposedly fills that hole. We are at last lead to the conclusion that no one survived, Meg Foster is Mole Man's Cleaner, and Kraven must be a hungry boy because even after killing those kids he needs rats dropped off. Oh, you say Kraven is not a cannibal, just a serial killer/mass murderer? I must have missed that somwhere in the poorly constructed script.
I will not comment on the manga, others have done so.
I give it two stars for Meg Fosters eyes.
