This film had to have some sort of source material as the movie seemed to need some back story or something. You are introduced to Misa and it just seems you should already know who she is or something. Well I shall tell you what she is, she is a witch that uses her powers for good, but is not really all that effective in this movie. Which is a huge problem, the movie plays like a sequel, like you should have already been introduced to this character and that you should have seen her in action because in this particular film she is hugely ineffective. This Misa girl is a new student at a school, she is there to try and prevent these awful things that are about to happen. Strange things are going on as a strange ceremony is about to take place and gruesome murders are about to take place. The movie has a good deal of witchcraft and they try to throw a few surprises at you along the way. Granted I thought that it was relatively simple to figure them out, but I could not see the ending coming. Who could? It made no sense, one minute you see the hero dispatched the next she is back saying "I told you it would not work." No explanation on why things did not work or anything. Then the movie ends. It has its moments and for the most part I enjoyed it, I liked the kills and I liked that the one guy I thought they were going to make the jerk turned out to be okay. There is a bit of sexual scenes in the movie, but nothing that really lasts all that long, just adds a hint of spice. The main problem with this film though is the fact it just seems to be a sequel, that we should have been introduced to this character and seen her in all her glory. She is made out to be so powerful, but she does not really do a whole lot in the entire movie other than be held captive like all the other students. It was an okay movie, but I do hope the other two parts are a bit better at presenting themselves.
