学校の怪談
Directed by Hideyuki Hirayama
Synopsis
A young girl wanders into a wing of her elementary school that has been abandoned for years and is rumored to be haunted. When she doesn't come back, a group of her classmates go looking for her, only to find that they, too, are trapped inside. They must somehow find their way to safety, and quickly, because the rumors of ghosts are turning out to be true.

Review by Kaijuman ★★★★ 4
Sometimes the easiest way to make friends after moving to a new school is to face untold ghostly horrors together.
My biggest take away from this film, other than practical effects will never not be the greatest, is that we really need more horror films aimed at children. Films safe enough for your kids to enjoy, but still terrifying enough to give them nightmares.
The plot isn’t much. An assortment of kids get trapped in their old, haunted schoolhouse and have to find a way out while avoiding the multitude of apparitions that call this place home. You’ve got some subplots and small character arcs for all the kids and the teacher, but the main drive of the film is…

Review by Lou (rhymes with wow!) ★★★★ 2
Leave it to the Japanese to make a family-friendly horror movie that is genuinely creepy. Haunted School is a very creative movie that looks stellar and has some spectacular prosthetic- and make-up effects.
Recommended.

Review by Aberrant Ghoul ★★★★ 10
Well, butter my frickin' pickle. It seems I've unearthed something special. A nice sparkly gem from the East. A delectable slice of family-friendly horror that feels like a whimsically deranged blend of The Goonies, Ghostbusters, and Poltergeist. It also reminded me of Sweet Home (1989), at times. Another Japanese film that felt like an homage to the effects-driven American horror of the 80s. And, like that film, this is positively packed full of great practical effects. And the sets. I gotta talk about the sets. This all takes place in an abandoned school building, and it looks like something out of a classic haunted house film. All dust and cobwebs, and creaky floors. This thing manages to be proper atmospheric…

Review by Josh Lewis ★★★
Pretty visually imaginative, ostensibly family-friendly J-horror mix of Poltergeist and Goosebumps that gets a little slow and repetitive as it goes on but strikes that right balance of being silly and watchable for kids but still genuinely gross, surreal and frightening when it lets its ghouls and ghosts run rampant. Great dusty, cobweb-y wooden floorboard production design and gooey creature makeup work in particular; the re-animated anatomical model in the biology lab with his organs hanging out was great.

Review by Justin Decloux ★★★★
A bunch of kids get trapped in a haunted school and are attacked by a dozen gooey practical effects.
How had I never heard of this movie before? There are three more films in the series!

Review by SlimySwampGhost ★★★★★
A horror for kids plot allows the special effects artists to go ham on this one, loading it with every possible ghoulie and ghostie you could imagine in setpiece after setpiece. Genuinely impressive puppets and prosthetics, and then they made me feel emotions at the end. Fantastic movie.

Hooptober XI: Hindi Horrorcore on Blood Island
31 horror films: 1/31
6 countries: Japan 1/6
8 decades: '90s 1/8There are few things as eerie as a primary school after hours. The annihilating silence of empty corridors, the air somehow heavier in the absence of childish chitter chatter. Haunted School toys with the idea of the empty school as liminal space for maybe twenty minutes, then fills it with all manner of prosthetic ghoulies and body horror monstrosities. Initially the inhabiting ghost displays a surrealistic yen for floating spherical objects — a watermelon Jack-o’-lantern devours a man whole, a supernaturally buoyant football entices a small girl to slip into the twilight zone — but soon settles down into more familiar spooks. Overall, charming Halloween fodder best enjoyed over a bowl of Count Chocula Halloween Crunch. Toho’s answer to Goosebumps?

Review by karamashi ★★★★
Hiruko The Goblinfor the kiddies! Like a less depressing Drifting Classroom, this children’s horror film is lively with a ton of great practical effects. I never expected to see a monster inspired by The Thing show up in a kid’s horror film but here it is, gnashing teeth and all! Puts the cute in cute horror. A lot of fun! Hopefully the rest of the series will be translated some day.

Review by Samm Deighan ★★★★ 1
Some wonderful Halloween comfort food that basically feels like a Japanese take on Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark - with a dash of House (the zany American movie but also the Obayashi film) and Hellraiser 2. You love to see children throwing intestines and leaping into the void. Cried at the end.

Japanese Goosebumps. Yeah I’ll watch all of these.

Review by 𝐒𝐜𝐢-𝐅𝐢 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢🍥 ★★★½
You're poor, you only have twelve colors!
What a school yard burn! Especially when it comes from your sister.
An old, locked up and abandoned wing of the school, remains next to the current ones. On the last day of the semester, it lures a girl in and when a group of students go after her, they soon discover they can't escape.
Japanese kids horror that's only let down by its optical effects (the floating watermelon and see through monkey are super cringe), but its gory practical effects more than make up for them. There was a great build up of tension when the first girl was looking around and I was thinking this is some scary shit!
Good little interdemensional concept that I would have enjoyed as a kid.

Review by Freyr ★★★½
Watched during my Summer of J-Horror IV.
Very cute kid's horror with some stellar puppets, and highly creative creature designs. It's charming and sweet, and even genuinely creepy in a few cases, but plays to its audience and keeps things light and humorous overall. I did find that it had a few stretches where the momentum got a little lost, and that kind of held it back for me, but the last stretch is a delight.
