HIDE AND GO KILL is another Japanese shot-on-video horror movie that owes all of its inspiration to the classic Japanese ghost story JU-ON: THE GRUDGE. The story is about a group of high school girls who spend their private lives going online and visiting a weird blog which may or may not be haunted. Soon enough the girls find themselves spooked by a sinister figure when they decide to play a game of hide and seek...
While a creep-fest such as this has plenty of potential, it's fair to say that HIDE AND GO KILL really isn't too interesting. The main reason is the lack of ambition combined with the lack of originality. Everything you see that occurs here has been done better elsewhere, leaving a few jump scares and lots of bits where the aspiring actresses interact with shadowy rooms. The director certainly tries hard but in the end can add little to an overly underwhelming experience.
