A surprisingly decent mockumentary, does not offering new things but the execution is quite good.
The point begins with the Kaikai Channel crew who fake the shows about Hikiko because they have difficulty meeting the speakers about Hikiko who was shared by a Twitter user, but later it fell victims in accordance with the way Hikiko murder her victim, dragging them and skinned them. After there were several victims who had the same fate, then it was the crew's turn to be haunted.It managed to make me shudder, then the jumpscare was not fancy but effective.
I cheered a little when the crew finally met Hikiko, she looks like a normal japanese female ghost but the way she moved her body and the way she walk was quite imprinted in my memory when I watched the CGI animation ver., and the Hikiko vibe in here was almost the same as the animated version, I like it.
There's a missed opportunity imo, to make a chase scene by Hikiko in the apartment hallway or just seeing her walking throught out the apartment hallway like in the animation could be a gold scene, because she's a hardworking ghost, she's a limp but she will chase her victim no matter what, and that's creepy.
Well therefore everything that is presented in this film is well executed, from the story, jumpscare, the character, etc. so it's feels easy to digest.
