This starts off as a rather generic horror film. I was a little disappointed as I have come to expect more from Shiraishi, but good things come to those who wait. The second half is a lot more fun and offers some neat and surprising twists on a simple formula. It's not enough to turn it into a future classic, but horror fans are sure to have a good time.
The haunted house trope is a tried and tested one and at first Shiraishi sticks to the rules of the genre. He's a horror veteran though and he knows how and when to subvert expectations. The grandma is hilarious, the dark comedy is spot on. A fun and funny little horror flick, one that fits snugly into Shiraishi's oeuvre.
