Mokuyou no Kaidan'97: Akuryou Gakuen is an intriguing blend of high school drama and supernatural horror. It follows Haruka Renkoji, a seemingly typical girl who unwittingly carries the weight of her family's legacy as an exorcist. The film dives deep into ghostly encounters, each more unsettling than the last, punctuated by practical effects that lend a raw, unrefined edge to the scare factor. The tone shifts between eerie and melancholic, giving a layered feel to Haruka's journey. Performances are earnest, capturing the dread and confusion of a girl caught between her ordinary life and an extraordinary calling. Its pacing keeps you engaged, as it crafts a distinct atmosphere that feels both claustrophobic and hauntingly familiar.
