If you loved Haunted School, try Oba: The Last Samurai
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hideyuki Hirayama, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Haunted School, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Oba: The Last Samurai is
You’re Captain Oba, crouched in Saipan’s jungle shadows, turning down surrender orders and dragging his men deeper into the hills. You hear the war’s end, but treat it like static on the radio—your fight keeps going. Soon, the Americans stop seeing just a stubborn enemy; they see a man who won’t flinch, even when hope has already slipped away.
