Strangling Ritual In The Kowai Mansion

Six friends are standing in the main bedroom of the famously haunted Kowai Mansion in a forest outside Tokyo. They are there to exorcise the ghosts of the Kowai Family.

Years before seven members of the family had been practising an occult ritual in the old house when something went wrong and all seven died creating seven angry ghosts.

Now, lonely and depressed, Hiyori has agreed with her friends to offer her life in order to exorcise the ghosts and seal the spirit portal in the house. They commence the Strangling Ritual.

Long pieces of wire are tied around Hiyori’s neck, ankles and wrists. The wires are then attached to each of the five friends. On cue they all run in different directions, tearing off Hiyori’s limbs.

The wires, now covered in her blood, are placed over the portal to hell inside the house. This act exorcises the seven ghosts and seals the portal for the next 50 years.

However, the Strangling Ritual has created another ghost, far worse. Within five days Hiyori’s spirit will track down her five friends and kill them all.
