Finding an alternate way to get to Sonoda with a deceptive email, Kurohane explains that her curse will become even stronger if she is killed and she will live on through the curse. So in case you started to feel sympathetic toward Kurohane, she has to go off the deep end and go cat-lady levels of crazy. Sonoda then pops up to stab Kurohane to death, with like a hundred strikes, before committing suicide as Yuka looks on. This scene is halfway into the movie, but it felt like it should have been much earlier on or this should be the time to really pick up the pacing. Nope. Yuka mysteriously receives Kurohane's diary and we spend seriously 20 minutes going into details that could have been explained faster, or not at all, and recapping scenes we already saw! That's almost unforgivable. With only twenty more minutes of action left in the movie, this is when they decide to finally tell a tale that should have been presented from the onset! Yuka regales new classmates of the Kurohane story and they decide to look at a text Kurohane had sent Yuka to. kill her. I guess. This leads to the girls all dying one after another as they try to seek a way to stop Kurohane's ongoing curse that can now kill even if you look at a single word. People do start to see Kurohane's ghost as well, but she looks like a regular person; wow, wait until the end of the movie for the ghost to appear and absolutely no makeup effects to boot?
With only twenty more minutes of action left in the movie, this is when they decide to finally tell a tale that should have been presented from the onset. Kurohane is kind of the class outcast, but she is the top student in most regards and has a reputation for writing; I really loved that the bullies jokingly refer to her as Sadako a few times.
