A vengeful ghost slasher story in anime form. That's it. It lives up to its title thanks to a cast of highly disposable characters. Nobody will be spared, this is a corpse party, after all. We need corpses. Lots of it. It's suppose to be horror but there really isn't enough tension for any horror to happen. The violence is too upfront about itself and you soon find the plot gives no expectations about anyone surviving. Everybody is so obviously doomed from the get go.
The good part of it is the story behind the curse, or rather, the place created by it. The idea of having a school stuck in some Beyond forsaken part of hell where you can end up by complete accident is a pretty interesting idea and not enough time is dedicated to explaining or exposing the concept further. The slasher party get the upper hand here every time. You get some exposition here and there but it never feels enough. Maybe curses are better left unexplained?
