Izanami

After cheating on her semi-long-term girlfriend, Barb Masaki is cursed. The ancient curse calls upon Izanami, a former Japanese goddess to avenge those who have betrayed their loved ones. Initially, Izanami stalks only from the shadows, afraid of the light. When finally she strikes, Barb escapes to discover she is trapped in her apartment, hell literally is outside her door. Barb’s further attempts at escape and calls for help all fail but with new information she turns to attack in the form of an exorcism. In a fleeting moment of triumph, Barb revels in her victory. However, far from exorcised, Izanami has become far more potent and proceeds to wreak agonising vengeance on Barb’s body. As her hope dwindles, Barb is left with only one viable option to end the torment, she brings a knife to her wrist. Enter Barb’s girlfriend, Kim, in the nick of time to prevent this drastic action. Kim's scepticism of the curse is shattered when she falls victim to it too. With renewed determination, Barb hunts for a fresh way to be rid of Izanami and to save Kim, even offering up herself as a sacrifice to halt the devastation. Ultimately, the same conclusion is reached, a pyrrhic victory their only recourse. Before their final moments, Barb confesses the reason behind her betrayal. As both lay dying, a mutual forgiveness is found and a glimmer of hope emerges.
