Misa Kuroi is a schoolgirl with a working knowledge of magic, some protective charms, and a history of people dieing around her. Will she be able to stop the person who is attempting to summon Satan with a pentagram drawn in blood and 13 young sacrifices?
I like that the Japanese used western mythology for this film and, despite the inclusion of some distinctly Japanese fetishes, a fairly typical western approach to horror/splatter. I prefer this approach than the newer style of Japanese horror that was popularised by Ringu (Ring) a few years later. A nerdy wizard would also appear a few years later, but Misa Kuroi is way cooler than Harry Potter. There is a manga and a mass of sequels as well.
