A dark supernatural horror film centered on a cursed videotape that kills viewers in seven days, driven by paranoia and dread rather than gore.

She sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend and in doing so makes a horrifying discovery: there is a "movie within the movie" that no one has ever seen before.
