First, let's make something clear: Ghost Hound is not Lain. Despite having the same writer and director, it has nothing of the avante-garde about it, the framework is entirely linear, the characters are generic, and while it contains extensive meditations on psychology (similar to Lain, but without the tendency to the philosophical), the result are nothing but average.
The only thing it has going for it is some quality ambience and (a very few) images like the one posted above, but the result is overlong, bland, and average, average, average.
Thankfully, the same team is working on their fourth show, and that looks it should show some promise. We can only hope.
