A woman who works in a morgue becomes suspicious when a woman comes in to identify her husband. She thinks he may have faked his death.
The title of the film is reference to the Japanese practice of leaving your life and going off to start over under a new identity. As the film goes on the morgue worker becomes obesessed with this notion.
Despite being in a scary movies series, this film isn't scary. Heck, it isn't really compelling. It's kind of obvious where this film is going to go from the start. The problem here is that despite all of the twists and turns in the plotting the film never swerves from the preset course. You know what the ending is about ten minutes in and it never changes. It does't help that the twists either amout to much nor make much sense. Too much is ot explained simply because its happening to distract us, ot because the plot is going that way.
While it isn't a bad film, it just isn't a great one.
