Stumbled upon this during lockdown when I was watching some 90s-early 2000s Japanese horror movies. This certainly fit the bill, so I gave it a go.
There's a number of ways in which this movie has faults, particularly pertaining to the plot. A number of things go unexplained, but nothing so major that it affects one's understanding of the story.
While cheesy, the shop owners are creepy as well. They somewhat remind me of. Junji Ito's 'Souichi' character. Considerably, along with the ghosts, they are the antagonists, but they are fun antagonists.
The other workers at the convenience store are quite normal people, as is the main character who comes to do inventory for the store. They can tell something is up with the place, but ignore it until they can no longer ignore it. Since they are so average, they are fairly relatable. A teen working a part time job at a convenience store, with crazy owners and signs of a ghost? Yeah, I'd probably just ignore that too and just get in the hours. Lol! So, fairly average people, just trying to work and get by.
I can't exactly say why I enjoy this movie to the point where I purchased the DVD, but it is a fun watch. Also, with the short runtime, you can easily watch it by yourself or friends without being upset about wasting time if you find it isn't to your liking.
While it is cheesy, it is a fun watch, and depending on what you consider creepy, this may just creep you out. It certainly is a B movie, but a good one.
