Misa, however, being a lonely teenager with no friends, become enamoured with the 'normal' life led by the students at the school and looses sight of why she is there. And that's when the terror begins. There is nothing particularly bad about this film. The acting is solid, the camera work, lighting, and sets are all used to full effectiveness to underscore the horror and mystery of the events that unfold, and the cast members die in appropriately ironic ways. (That said, "Misa the Dark Angel" is *not* a teenage slasher flick, even if the above sentence might imply that; it's a far more low-key horror film, with patches of horrific gore.) On the other hand, there's nothing that really stands out, either. It's a solid effort, nothing more. It's worth seeing if you enjoy Japanese horror flicks, but I don't think it would be worth going out of your way for. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The first one kicked ass, the second was a prequel that lacked oomph, and this third one, the sequel to the first, is somewhere inbetween albeit with less brutality. Hinako Saeki, who replaced Yoshino Kimiko as Misa, is more of a mope here. The story has her investigating and enrolling in a girls' high school and becoming part of that school's drama club no less, all to find out about a student who died under weird circumstances. It does have an homage to H.P. Lovecraft's ancient gods, and Misa's slightly warmer towards a shy student Aya. The first movie's the best, but this one isn't without merits of its own.
