The Samejima Incident
2020, Japanese. Directed by Jirô Nagae.
Every year, Nana Sasaki and her former classmates hold a reunion of their high school music club. This year, the reunion is being held online. However, one of them, Ayumi, doesn't show up.

Those who find the truth about it become cursed and die. As Nana and the others start to panic, the real horror begins.
