Himeko is an aspiring actress and in a publicity stunt encouraged by her agent, she joins two YouTubers in a ghost hunting challenge. The team moves into an apartment building supposedly plagued with the spirits of gruesome murders back in the 80s and while there, they are tasked with catching proof of the haunting. They guarantee they will not leave until they catch a ghost on camera. A spooky viral video of a girl who vanished shortly after was filmed at the spot and thats why the team is calling the apartment home for the summer. The likable YouTubers (I guess they do exist!) and the actress out of her element make for a fine trio to deal with the escalating awfulness. The YouTube psychic they have on hand delivers the horrible history of the place (severed flesh clogging the drains, occult activity, sawed flesh) and promises he’ll help them out and stay with them in the small, abandoned apartment. Their irresponsible manager drops them off, wishes them luck and goes on his merry way but that’s social media for ya… I guess. Multiple spirits pop up and not all of them are malicious. The actress wants out after a troubling first night but her useless manager tells her it’s going to take at least two days to pull those strings. Unfortunately, a disturbing truth will be revealed before that. The “psychic” never shows, the spookiness seems to be more willing to show itself to Himeko, there’s a few striking scares mixed in with the boring ones and a scene of cheap, graphic violence is jarring but memorable. Standard stuff but likable leads help and once it gets mean and nasty, it gets interesting… even if the movie is almost over by that point. I don’t think I’ve ever had a movie win me over in the last twenty minutes like this.
