Plots(1)
Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, director Adam Wingard's remake follows high school student Light Turner who comes across a supernatural notebook with the power to kill any person whose name he writes in it. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, Light launches a secret crusade and begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life. Soon, the student-turned-vigilante finds himself pursued by a reclusive detective known only by the alias L and a deadly game of cat and mouse begins to end his reign of terror. (FrightFest)
