The film's theme song, "Real Onigokko", was written and performed for the movie by the rock band Glim Spanky. Plot A quiet high school girl named Mitsuko survives a gust of wind that slices through her school bus, bisecting everyone else on board. The wind chases her and kills all the other girls she comes into contact with. Dazed, she stumbles onto a high school campus. She is greeted by girls named Aki, Sur, and Taeko. Aki comforts her and the girls cut class and go to the woods. They muse about whether there are multiple realities with multiple versions of themselves. Sur illustrates predetermination with a white feather, stating that it would mean the time it takes for the feather to fall and where it will land are all decided already. She suggests that fate can be tricked by simply doing something one would never normally do, thus changing the outcome. Back at school, Mitsuko's teacher suddenly brandishes a machine gun and opens fire, killing all the girls except Mitsuko. Mitsuko is then dragged outside the classroom by Sur and Taeko. They reach a different classroom where they see another girl, who is killed by her teacher. Taeko tries to attack the teacher, however she fails, and is killed. As Sur and Mitsuko try to escape, Sur is shot on the way out. As Mitsuko runs out of the school, other classes are also fleeing from their rooms as well. As the remaining girls flee, one of them pleads for Mitsuko to think about why this is happening. The remaining girls are then sliced apart by the wind. Mitsuko then wanders into town, where she is recognized as a police officer as Keiko. Mitsuko is horrified when the police officer puts a mirror to her and her appearance has completely changed. She is then taken into the police officer's car for her wedding. At the wedding, she recognizes Aki as one of the bridesmaids. She is then changed into a wedding outfit. Aki, with the help of Keiko, proceeds to kill all the bridesmaids who were helping Keiko get ready. Keiko, holding a broken bottle, walks up to the groom, who is in a coffin. The girls then begin stripping to bikinis, acting as if they were at a party. The coffin opens to reveal a pig head as a groom, and the girls walk up to her, and try to make Keiko kiss the pig head.
