Don't expect a full-blown horror film from Ochiai, instead, he comes with a TV mystery that sports an interesting premise but does very little to build on that. I'm certain that a more cinematic rendition of this story could've been fun, but that ambition wasn't even present and that's a bit of a bummer.
Matsuzaka's character is a real hoot and the initial mystery is an interesting one. The cinematography is bland though and the score is feeble. There are several twists and revelations that aim to keep the film engaging, but most of them aren't very effective. A lot more could've been done with this one.
