This is half a film's worth of ultra-low budget Japanese horror. We are given the general back-story that five girls went to a spooky place for a dare and were never seen again; so what better way to celebrate the anniversary than assembling a cast of psychic believers and a load of TV cameras and see what happens this time round? What happens doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, there is a weird, grotesque mask on the floor and someone puts it on, and what happens after that should really have been a good deal better than what it is. However, it is compact in its brevity and I really did like the music. If you are into mandibles, then I think you'll love it.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

Five spirit mediums will spend 24 hours in an abandoned office building for a TV show.
