The premise

Yura, a young girl who struggles to fit in with her classmates, discovers an old smartphone while helping clean out a disused school building. Out of curiosity, she and her friends power it on. Soon afterward, strange videos featuring the children themselves begin appearing on their phones. At first, the clips seem like harmless jokes and are consumed much like viral internet memes. What the children do not realize, however, is that these videos are foretelling a horrifying future that awaits them.

Horror Vault's take

When a socially awkward schoolgirl uncovers a forgotten smartphone in an abandoned part of her school, she and her friends unlock something far more sinister than an old device. Cryptic videos of the children themselves begin spreading across their phones, disguised at first as the kind of absurd clips that flood social media. As the novelty fades, a creeping dread takes hold — these aren't pranks, and whatever is filming them knows what comes next. Cursed Meme taps into the modern anxiety of living your life on-screen, twisting internet culture into a vehicle for supernatural terror.
