Death Note

American treatment of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's seminal manga, directed by Adam Wingard (Blair Witch) and starring Nat Wolff.

A high school student comes across a supernatural notebook, realising it holds within it a great power: if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
