Sadako: Tomurai no Pendant Poster

Sadako: Tomurai no Pendant: Directed by Kazuhiro Ito. With Rena Ôtsuka, Ami Sugawara. Shunichi Tokudaiji, a fourth-year film major at Jonan University and aspiring actor, is the leader of the 'Urban Legend Research Circle'. The circle has a YouTube channel, but it doesn't get a lot of hits. So Shunichi proposes that they go to rumored "haunted spots" and shoot a video as part of their summer training camp. He decides to go to the "abandoned school where Sadako's grudge is sealed", which is said to be the "most frightening place". Circle member Sayaka Kaga decides to hire Mitsuhiro Yamaguchi, a film major who aspires to be a film director, to work as a cameraman, and Mitsuhiro brings Masa Oka, a first-year film major, to be his assistant. The group visits the abandoned school, but nothing special happens, and nothing is seen in the video. On the way home, Masa picks up a photo from the scene. A few days later, the circle members head to the villa for a training camp, accompanied by their advisor, Professor Kaname Nakagawa, and Yorika Iizuna, the daughter of Katsuko Iizuna, a spiritual medium who died in a confrontation with Sadako. However, on the night they head to Shunichi's villa, mysterious phenomena occur one after another, and members die under mysterious circumstances one after another. Later, when I looked back at the video shot at the closed school, I noticed that a woman who looked like Sadako appeared in the video where nothing had been shown...and then Sadako appeared from the video screen. Sadako's grudge from 35 years ago still lingers.
