At first glance, The Booth may seem a bit lean with a running time of 74 minutes. That is not the case at all. The film could have lingered over certain scenes, and even expanded upon parts of the plot to bring it to a more standard 90+ minutes. But I am glad they didn't. Too many movies, especially Japanese ones, seem to do that. Very little story, very long running time, lots of navel gazing introspection. Instead, The Booth gives us a lean, mean, story packed 74 minutes of increasing tension. And that's what The Booth is all about.

Tension.


The Booth (2005) [Re-UP]

The film takes place real time during Shingo's radio show. At the beginning we see the happy-go-lucky host and his late night staff doing a highly entertaining late night call in show devoted to relationship problems. With each passing minute, the jovial atmosphere of the show and staff are changed. As the movie goes on, we slowly see tensions rise as Shingo descends into a madness brought on by his callers and the technical problems plaguing the show. The once friendly staff slowly turns into enemies as Shingo's guilt and paranoia begin to take over. Through flashbacks, we see how Shingo relates his callers' problems to his own despicable behavior, and how Shingo has every right to be paranoid. The tension keeps building until the end of the show, and the inevitable conclusion to the movie. It doesn't give you a break, which is fine with me.

As a film, The Booth is very well done. Filmed in an actual outdated studio at Japan's Nippon Broadcasting, the authentic set adds to the realism of the film; something that many movies lose to bad location decisions. As the name implies, the booth is as much a character in this movie as Shingo or any of his staff are. Coming from a background in radio, I was delighted to see the real thing, and not another half-assed attempt by a set designer who just gets it wrong.

Also, The Booth has a nice psychological aspect to it, something that is lacking in a lot of Asian horror. It is a nice example of good, tight storytelling. Without giving too much away, you will find yourself feeling all smarmy and well for predicting exactly what's going on in this movie. You will relish your intelligence and handsomeness as all of your predictions come true, and you are proven to be correct time and time again. And then The Booth will show you how easily you were led, how wrong you were, and what a maroon you really are for falling for all of it's gimmicks.

Step into The Booth and spend a Saturday night with Shingo's Tokyo Loveline. It's worth a listen.
