Japanese-influenced indie ghost story

[Leofwine_draca · 4/10 · 8 January 2018]

As indie ghost stories go, this one's not too bad, although it's still below average. The story is of a woman's suicide and the subsequent haunting of her apartment building by her restless spirit. There seems to be a great deal of influence from the Japanese horror genre here with a familiar staircase set-piece and a long haired female ghost. It's slow moving and cheap, but it could be worse.

Too long...

At less than an hour, it's incredible that this seemed to drag.

I have no problem with low budget indie horror, and can usually extract something enjoyable from even the dodgiest films but something about this made me struggle.

I think it's primarily the quality of lack thereof in the acting.

As far as the plot goes, it's a decent enough idea but it was just hard to take seriously enough. The flippancy the girls show so soon after Scott's tragic actions is difficult to believe

Nothing to see here; move along...

Derivative story that may have been watchable with a decent budget and cast. Hope nobody associated quit their day jobs.
