An entertaining Japanese horror film with some creative ideas which don't so much add to the narrative as simply create an eerie surreal atmosphere around the convenience shop as well as an element of humour at times. The film is also beautifully centralised around a small shop setting.
I would recommend someone watch this film and not be phased by the story structure being very reminiscent of any other Asian horror films or the cheap appearance of the visuals. This film also makes good use of its budget and while looking cheap is far from trashy. It lacks the seamlessness of Hollywood in its editing and camera use but this really doesn't limit the enjoyability of the film, it if anything adds to it.
