Ai, who attends a girls' school in Tokyo, spends her student life with her classmates from middle school, Fuyumi, Chiharu, Akiko and Yoko. One day, a chain mail called "murder net" arrives on Ai's mobile phone. According to rumors, "You can kill someone by including the name of the person you want to kill and sending it to them." Ai didn't believe the rumors at all, but Fuyumi tells Ai to put her name on and send it, and Ai reluctantly sends her the name of Fuyumi. Immediately after that, Fuyumi jumps from the roof and commits suicide. After Fuyumi's death, a mysterious accident occurs one after another, and the teacher dies... Did Fuyumi die due to the "murder net" sent by Ai?
Directed by Koji Kawano, Murder Net leans on a strong ensemble — Kumi Imura, Mao Kawasaki, Asari — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2004.
