Technically this is a ghost story and has been marketed as such (I saw it on Shudder), but that does not give the whole picture at all. If I had to pick one sub-genre to classify this film I would have to say it's a time-travel movie and even that is woefully inadequate. Empirically you might also call it a Serial Killer movie, but again that would be technically true but missing the point entirely.
This is a very mediative film that deals with the consequences of grief and how 'helping' other people (or spirits) is often simple selfishness. It depicts a cycle of behaviour that can be difficult to break and it's debatable whether the action in the movie has actually broken that cycle.
To me this is Nacho Vigalondo's 'Timecrimes' mixed with Ray Bradbury's 'A Sound Of Thunder' mixed with Buddhist philosophy telling a tale about the selfishness of grief.
I think this is excellent.
