An early pre-Ringu Tsuruta film. Many of the signature elements of the less-is-more J-Horror wave are already present here. Then again, people who know their horror history and have seen some of the earliest Honto ni Atta Kowai compilations know this isn't all that surprising.
A Haunted School is very basic, but the setup is rather fun and the pacing is decent too. There's also a little cameo of Kiyoshi Kurosawa, which is cute, but as someone who has had his fill of the J-Horror clichés, there isn't much here that got me excited. It's decent enough for horror completists, but it's hardly a standout.
