It's an intriguing premise, right? The pacing has its moments where it draws you in slowly, letting the dread build up. The practical effects, while not over the top, serve the eerie vibes well, making the spirits feel more tangible. The performances, particularly of the janitor, are solid and bring a sense of desperation that fits the setting.
