Death Note2017
“Justice is coming.”
Directed by Adam Wingard
The premise
Light Turner finds a supernatural notebook and uses it to mete out death, attracting the attention of a detective, a demon and a girl in his class.
Horror Vault's take
When a troubled teenager stumbles upon a mysterious notebook with the power to kill anyone whose name is written inside, he sees an opportunity to remake the world in his own image. What begins as a personal mission of vigilante justice quickly spirals into a dangerous game as a brilliant, eccentric detective closes in on the trail of deaths. Add a seductive classmate and a grotesque supernatural entity whispering from the shadows, and the stakes become impossible to contain. This live-action Netflix adaptation of the beloved manga cranks up the chaos and moral ambiguity to operatic levels.
