About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a wildly offbeat J-horror that mixes creepy, uncomfortable moments with a sometimes playful tone; Not for you if you need a coherent plot or consistent scares like Occult.
Pros: unique haunted-hair premise; uneasy body horror; memorable weird vibe | Cons: messy split storylines; jarring tonal shifts; scares and humor uneven
