The titular spooker is a ghost that inhabits the crevices between things and has the ability to snatch and pull its victims into the odd realm it calls home. Mind the gap or it may be your ass! A missing younger sister brings Koharu Tashige to the young lady’s last known address after her realtor complains about missed rent payments and zero communication. Koharu is shocked to find every open crevice in her sister’s apartment taped over with red duct tape, her realtor is disturbed by the state of the place as well. Worse than all that, Kyoko is discovered near death in her bathtub. She’s comatose but her doctor is optimistic she’ll pull through. While she’s recuperating in the hospital, Koharu removes some of the tape to grab her things and checks out the footage on a video camera she finds at her apartment. This footage offers a glimpse of the ghost girl occupying a spot that’s way too tiny to offer any plausible inhabitation and Koharu gets curious. Kyoko wakes up screaming and runs off. After a brief and pointless search, Koharu finds her sitting in an open room, obviously terrified about something. We then meet a young lady by the name of Saori who is cleaning out a derelict house with her father where she stumbles across a day planner which disturbs her and then she briefly encounters the specter that hangs out in between things. We return to the sisters, now back at Kyoko’s apartment and a worried Koharu decides to stick by her little sister. A long time coming, as she abandoned her to an abusive father many years ago. Kyoko finally spills the beans on what’s haunting her (an effective found footage style flashback shows how she and her friends journeyed where they shouldn’t have) which causes her sister to go visit a paranormal investigator for assistance. He warns that he’s been told an exorcism won’t work on this spirit and they need to find the body of this ghost and put her to rest for good. Lucky he’s an expert on the missing woman’s probable homicide case… he being her fiancé some twenty years ago when she up and vanished! He’s not around long and neither is that other girl who was cleaning out that house. We’re finally down to the two sisters and things ain’t looking great for them either. This could have really been creepy but instead it just feels like an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? that halfheartedly attempted to tackle more mature issues and kind of forgot to be exciting. Still, it has some neat ideas and everyone is easy on the eyes.
