The Feel-Good Part
The concept of a reality show in a haunted house is unique and the story is really interesting. They blended the horror genre with comedy which helps the people who are can’t handle horror scenes by making them less scary.
The Disappointing Factor
The horror elements are not up to par. The lead actress Nao kind of ruined the scary scenes with her acting. Her reaction to ghosts which is supposed to be a scared reaction looks awkward. There is no clarity regarding genre as we can’t decide if it is a horror film with a bit of comedy or a comedy film with a glimpse of horror.
