I saw this one with a few friends who were obsessed with it, and to its credit, it filled the bill serviceably. Corpse Party is decently animated, mercifully brief, and has enough of the squeamish gore, the type of stuff happening to eyes or vulnerable body parts that make you clutch yourself and squirm, to tide over any gaggle of bored teenagers looking for something mature and scary to get each other good and spooked up.
That said, without wishing to spoil the thematic core here is really nothing special, which means you don't leave the show with any lasting fear of universal problems represented via spooky slasher spirits. The lack of depth to the horror makes it feel a bit juvenile, and the interchangeably underdeveloped characters make it easy to lose your investment and root against them (or make a fun little drinking game around repetitive dialogue).
I'm not trying to ruin your fun if you like this, but let's just say anyone who isn't already super into it by the title and bloody preview images alone won't find much else to win them over.
