If you’re still reading, your hosts welcome you to accompany them on this journey, as this low-budget found footage pseudo-documentary is full of crazy twists and turns that, despite its flaws, are worth watching if not just to experience some of the more entertaining stereotypical elements of this brand of Japanese horror.
