Plot

Three female idols appear on a television show to investigate an exorcism. An exorcist with psychic powers named Unsui claims that the show’s subjects, the Kaneda family, are cursed by a demon that’s too powerful for him to banish on his own, so he calls in a fellow exorcist to help.

Sinekatalog’s take

Idols investigating an exorcism face a demon too powerful for the exorcists. The Japanese found-footage horror mixes TV-style silliness with nasty frights. Rough and effective for fans of the sub-genre.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
