Didn't you tell me that you were going to get a haircut?
Yes, I went but the shop was already closed...
I need to get a cut too.
Girls, did you hear something?
Nothing...
Not at all.
What?
We better go and catch the last train.
Yeah...
Let's meet tomorrow?
OK, sure
I should get a haircut.
What's the matter?
I just saw a dark figure.
You mean that dark figure?
That's just a rumor.
But, I just saw it! It was behind Miho just now!
Miho?

But still late.
There was no light in the house so...
Is the car there?
No. It wasn't there.
She might have gone somewhere with Junya?
Don't know.

You don't live too far... so oK.
Just... no one's home right now... so...
Where are they?
Alright, I'll see you.
"I'll be at Rie's. Noriko"
...a woman and a child were found dead in a movie theater in Tokyo today.
Around 6 PM today, a theater employee found a woman and
a child dead on the floor of the lady's room...
the bodies are identified that mother, Michiko Inui...
36 years old and her daughter, Chitose 8 years old.
The mother and her child have been missing since last Sept.,
the day when Michiko's husband, Yukio was killed by someone...
in their home. The case is still unsolved...
Rie, here I am!
It is so cold outside...
A hot tea?
Thanks.
So...
...got Ionely living alone?
Well, something like that.
I've been through rough times myself...
and most of the things I can handle myself
but sometimes I feel Ionely.
I didn't know that side of you.
You need a boyfriend!
You want me to introduce one?
What...
ok, when the time comes.
- How was work today... busy? - No.
I was called in for extra hands but the customers thinned-out.
Oh well, that's life, I guess.
About Hitomi, she disappeared on me.
I'm pissed... I didn't even call her yet.
What's the matter?
What...
About today...
...never mind.
Come on, let's hear it... what?
Well...
What's wrong?
Noriko, do you believe in ghosts?
Ghosts?
Never seen one, but sometimes I get a strange feeling...
How about now?
Rie?
Don't you feel that now?
Stop! You're scaring me.
The story Hitomi told today was true...
No way! It's nonsense.
And... Hitomi...
Get out of here!
- What's wrong? - Please get out!
Go, get out!
Get out!
Wait... wait!
Rie.
Rie...
...are you oK?
Tell me what's wrong.
Forget you.
What's wrong with Rie and Hitomi?
Chapter 6
Etsuko, oK to close it this early?
Sure, no worry it's fine.
I am glad you came to help today. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I'm sorry we're closed for today.
I see.
Please come back again.
Yasuko got sick and left early today...
Is that so.
Rie, what were you doing today?
I was at home and went to a movie with some friends.
Noriko?
Yes, Noriko and Hitomi too.
Hitomi, was she here before?
No, she goes to her own near her house.
Hitomi, she fainted today.
Is she alright?
I think so...
She's resting at Noriko's house...
It happens often with her.
But, that time...
What?
Sorry for the sudden call for your help today.
Don't worry I am fine.
I want to work, and it is a good experience for me.
I respect you, Rie.
No, I just feel better working.
Please talk to Yasuko about that...
Well but she is a senior...
What's the matter?
I saw a person's face in the garbage bag...
What? You must've seen trash that looks like one.
You see. Nothing there.
Relax, you must be tired, forget about it.
Yes.
Why don't you go home now.
After we close tomorrow, I'll teach cutting for you and Yasuko.
Yes, I can't wait.
- Good night! - Good night.
What?
Chapter 5
- Hey, Junya I got to go! - OK.
- Your mom forgot about you. - What do you mean?
That's right, come here...
- I saw it in the corner of the class room. - What was it?
A ghost!
You liar.
It's true. Takeshi saw it the other day too.
It was a really scary one!
Well... bye bye!
Bye...
Junya. Why are you still here?
Yes, mom hasn't picked me up yet.
I see. She's late.
Junya, you better try a bit harder for your Math class.
Why do we need to study math? I don't think we need to.
Well, education is something you will appreciate later.
Can we stop talking about studying now?
- Teacher... - Yes?
Have you seen a ghost in this class room?
What? Why do you ask?
Saiji said he saw it, so did Takashi.
Seiji said that? It's a lie, a lie.
Really.
Yeah, never heard of such a thing
Have seen a ghost ever before?
No, never!
You want to hear about the story I heard from my friend?
OK.
My friend, Takahashi works at a high school...
and he told me about a story...
Yes.
About two years ago. A girl in the class...
suddenly screamed and fainted...
He took her to the nurse at the school.
After she woke up, she was crying insanely...
She said she saw a man totally covered in black underneath her desk,
and that man in black...
jumped out in front of her...
and she never came back to the school after that day.
The teacher called the girl's home, but no answer...
and the teacher visited the girl's home in the evening...
The house was dark, no lights...
and there was no answer from the inside...
no one there...
the teacher checked the girl's room... what do you think he saw there?
How do I know?
He turned the light on in the girl's room...
still no one there...
I've got it!
Wait.
There was a black stain on the carpet, shaped like a human body.
That's not a true story.
It's true, really.
The family's still missing never found them.
What?
And there is more to tell you... the girl's teacher...
Teacher, you have a call.
Yes, thank you.
Is that you, mom?
What are you doing, mom?
Chapter 4
Thank you for taking care of our grandmother.
I hope it's not too much trouble for you.
- No, not at all. - Thank you very much.
Chapter 3
Grandma, I have to go now. I have to pick up Junya.
What?
What is it?
- Who... is... that? - What, who?
You mean me? I am Mayuko.
Ma-yu-ko.
Your son, Kazushige's wife Mayuko. Can you hear me?
What is it?
What?
Alright, you want me to go, I am leaving.
I will bring your grand kids tomorrow...
so be a good patient, ok.
See you then.
What grandma?
You are hurting me.
I will be back tomorrow, ok... be good.
See you.
Who... Who-are-you?
Who are... you? Who... no!
Chapter 2
Best I take her to my home, Hitomi lives too far.
I'm sorry I can't go with you guys.
Don't worry, I will take care of her.
Thanks.
What's the matter?
What?
No... Nothing.
- Hi dad. - Hi.
Something is the matter with her?
She fainted again, well... maybe more
She can rest in my room.
What happened there?
She got hurt when she fainted.
OK then...
I have to go, trouble at the Chiba site I will be back tomorrow.
Hitomi, let's go up and get some rest.
- A friend? Is that Hitomi? - Yes.
She fainted.
Is she oK?
I'm taking my husband to the station, Junya to a class then...
I'm going to see grandma... would you like to come with me, Hitomi?
Hitomi, want to see a Doctor?
- I'll be fine. - Sure?
I'm fine.
- She's fine. - OK, have a good rest then.
Sorry but we have to go.
Yes. We are leaving Junya!
Yes.
Hi sis. Who is that? Hitomi?
Get out, go to class.
I'll get a hot drink for you.
Hey Hitomi, are you oK sitting up like that?
Hitomi?
I'm going home.
Wait, get some rest, lay down.
That's right, we better take care of the knee.
I'll get an antiseptic... so keep resting oK.
Strange... It's not in here!
Got it.
Chapter 1
That was a little scary.
Hitomi, how about you, scared?
I saw a scarier story about "The Black Shadowed Girl" on the net.
"CURSED VIDEo: The Movie"
Hey...
A few years ago... a cursed high school girl died, and...
her black shadowed body wanders around today.
That's The Black Shadowed Girl?
Yes, anyone touched by the girl will be cursed...
and then anyone touched by that person will be cursed too.
The girl's teacher died last year...
it was a strange death, became top news...
and his wife and daughter are...
missing since then.
Really?
Sorry.
Hello.
Yes, hi... hello?
Can you hear me now?
No, I forgot a scarf inside.
I'll go get it.
OK.
I see... no that's oK, I can come now.
Yes, oK... see you.
What shall we do now?
I'm sorry, I have to work.
Not off today?
They need extra hands.
- No... - Sorry
Where is Hitomi?
She forgot a scarf inside.
What happened?
Are you alone?
Is this your mom's?
Don't worry, she should be back in hurry.
The Black Shadowed person is coming...
so you will be dead.
What?
Prologue
I've been talking to a lawyer... he can start anytime.
I wish we didn't have to divorce, but...
and about Chitose...
for awhile, mom will take care of her.
Sorry, but while I am teaching at school,
I can't leave you two alone.
May become a problem.
Hey, Mitsuko, are you listening?
So I have been telling you...
The Black Shadowed person is coming...
Mitsuko.
The Black Shadowed person comes and...
takes me to... the place with nothing...
Hey, be serious.
You...
try to... take me?
Stop it!
What the hell are you taking about...
So I see.
What?
You're gone completely.
I can't let you do that!
- Can't do that! - What... hey!
"You'll die"
