That woman... She tricked me into coming to this island!
Please help! Don't kill me!
You're not one of them? What are those men?
They sucked my friend's blood!
You're injured, aren't you?
It's strange. The smell of your blood makes me hungry!
You've been infected by his blood.
Infected?
You'll die soon and come back as one of them.
I'll become one of those monsters?
Are you hungry? I'll give you something.
Akira.
What are you doing up there?
Where did you find that puppy?
At the shrine. I couldn't leave it to the feral dogs.
It's very cute.
Hey.
Did your brother hit you again?
It was my fault.
He's just taking his stress out on you!
Now give me the dog.
Good puppy.
I envy you, Akira.
I wish I had a brother I could respect.
Leave it alone.
So you still don't know where he's gone?
Where is Akira Miyamoto?
Show yourself now!
So you're Akira Miyamoto.
You have some nerve ditching my sister.
What?
You embarrassed my sister!
No, you're embarrassing her like this!
Come on, don't just dodge!
Whoops, I'm sorry!
Akira?
Thanks!
Akira.
I love you, you know?
Akira!
Ken, out of the way!
That's merchandise!
The teacher said he'd flunk you if you keep cutting class.
You punks, buy my fish!
Wait a minute!
The missing woman is Noriko Saito, 26.
An office clerk and Yasunaga Town resident.
The police say that before she went missing
she went out for lunch with colleagues
around 1 pm before going to the bank alone.
We should stay here for a while. They'll give up soon.
The missing woman is 156cm, slim,
and when she disappeared she was wearing a grey suit and white blouse.
Never been to a place like this?
I haven't introduced myself.
My name is Rei Aoyama.
Why did you help me out?
Because I'm interested in you...
Akira Miyamoto.
Atsushi Miyamoto
But this is...?
I can't tell you everything now.
But your brother's alive and safe.
Akira.
You must want to see him again.
It looks like the real thing.
That woman's kind of suspicious.
She gave you this without any explanation?
More importantly...
Did you sleep with her, Akira?
No, I didn't!
What else would you do in a Love Hotel for three long hours?
- Nothing! - Come on, tell us.
What?
Those places charge bi-hourly rates...
Shut up, Nishiyama!
You stayed on!
Leave him alone, Kato.
I'll interrogate the woman for you.
You got the hots for her too, Ken?
I'm not like you, idiot.
It took me hours to get my hair like this!
Catch me, idiot!
I heard there's a girl you like.
Who is she? Is she somebody we know?
Leave me alone.
Don't make a big deal out of it. I can help you out.
No chance, she likes another guy.
Oh, that's even more interesting.
Stop flirting.
We're not flirting, don't be stupid.
- Let's go. - We're coming.
It's time you tell him.
It's not a secret, it's obvious.
Who do you mean? Don't be an arsehole.
Yuki.
What are you upset about? You look pissed off.
You'll get stuck with that face!
Why is she upset?
Couple Still Missing
Akira, stop thinking and fight seriously.
You can't win by just defending yourself.
Don't defer to me when you fight, fight to win.
Ryoko and I are going away for the weekend.
Are you sharing a room?
Knock it off, kid!
Are you going to propose to her? Well, are you?
Shut up, you idiot.
Hey, watch out! That hurts.
That hurt!
Ouch!
You've ruined us! What have you done?
Stop nagging! It's gone and that's that!
You're drunk! You drink every day!
Mum, stop!
Hey, that's enough. Stop it already.
But your father lost the money we'd saved for your education!
What?
Our shop's done badly since that new supermarket opened.
I needed some cash to pay back debts.
Don't worry about the money.
I'll help you out in the shop. I've got no need for college.
Oh, why did Atsushi disappear?
He'd make things right...
Why is everybody here?
Because we want to see who Akira slept with.
- Is that all you think about? - Damn right.
Aren't they the punks who chased you yesterday?
That's her.
God damn, she's gorgeous!
Didn't she just hand them some money?
What's with these two?
Let's follow them.
Keep Out
What business would they have here?
I don't like the look of this place. Let's go.
Don't be a sissy, idiot.
Come on.
Yuki.
No, please!
Yuki.
Leave her alone!
Yuki.
Are you OK?
We've got to get out!
Kato!
Ken.
You bastard!
Stay away!
Ken!
I can't move...
Akira.
He's already dead!
Not yet. Because he's not a human.
He's a vampire.
Wait! What about the woman?
It's too late to save her. I have no time for a dead person.
Was that man really a vampire? Will I become one, too?
He just sucked your blood.
You only become one if their blood enters your system.
- So I'm OK? - Yes, I'd have destroyed you otherwise.
But... What were you doing with that monster anyway?
He watches over me.
What?
He made sure I didn't betray them.
Betray who? Explain what you mean by that!
Two years ago a vampire appeared on the island where I lived.
He attacked the villagers, and turned them into vampires.
He wanted to rule the island.
But the vampires needed more blood.
So I had to bring people to the island.
Hey!
- You wanted Akira for food! - No.
I thought that Akira might be able to help us, because...
you're Atsushi's brother...
Stop that bullshit, we were almost killed!
Why didn't you call the police?
No! Mother!
No!
There was one girl who fled and...
went to the police.
But...
everybody at the police station just ignored her.
But...why didn't they help her?
Because our island does not officially exist on maps.
She's making it up. There are no unofficial islands.
Think about it. Our country is made up of over 7,000 islands.
Maybe there is such an island.
Is my brother alive on the island?
He's fighting the vampires at great risk to himself.
Please come with me to fight the vampires.
Your brother is in great danger.
How many more vampires are there?
Ken, no...
Ken, you're not going to the island, are you?
There are survivors. With your help, we can win.
No. I don't think I can trust you, lady.
Everybody, let's go.
Akira.
I'd go without you. I want to save my brother.
I know how you feel but it's too dangerous.
I can't let him die when I know he's in danger!
Your brother wouldn't want you to get hurt.
Mind your own business!
Nobody tells me what to do.
Go ahead and die if that's what you want.
See you.
What are you standing there for? Go on home.
Are you really going to let Akira go alone?
If he wants to die that's up to him.
Ken?
I'm not doing this for you.
If we don't help, there'll be more victims.
I'd sit round waiting for news of the vampires.
Ken! Akira!
What's this!
I knew you'd be here, Ken.
I knew you couldn't let him go off alone to save his brother!
We all feel the same way.
Guys...
Nishiyama and Pon can come. But Yuki stays.
What are you talking about? Because I'm a girl?
We can't protect you.
I'll be OK!
No, go home now.
Wait a minute.
You want me to wait here, worrying myself sick!
Do you have any idea how hard that would be?
We've always been together! We are friends.
Don't leave me behind.
We all know how stubborn Yuki can be.
All right! Do what you like!
Wait, Akira! Ken!
I'm coming too!
You're late! I think you should swim!
Don't be mean! Here, I bought something to eat.
Wait up!
Out of range
I see you're quite good at piloting a boat.
What are you implying?
We're in your hands now. You can do what you want with us.
You don't trust me?
I'm not as naive as Akira.
No wonder they look up to you. You're cautious.
Any funny moves and I'll get them all out of there.
No reception.
Look at the compass!
- What's wrong? - Look at this.
Like the Bermuda Triangle...
So it isn't a myth...
Hey...
Look!
Welcome to Higanjima.
Do you think there'll be any pretty girls?
I wish I were simple like you...
Thank you.
This island's like a cemetery.
Look at those flowers.
Those are spider lilies.
They're poisonous. Some people call them "Flowers of the Dead".
They were planted near graves to keep scavengers away.
Perfect for the night's hive of creatures.
Look.
Looks like nobody lives here.
Nobody does. Not after the vampire attack.
The vampires won't ambush us, will they?
Calm down! Nothing's happened yet.
What's that sound?
Hey, it's just an old woman. You scared us!
If you stay out in the dead of night, monsters might get you!
Don't worry, we're going to beat those monsters for you.
Looks like we've got a hopeless fool here.
Guys, there's something strange about these villagers...
That bitch! She's gone!
Gone?
They're vampires!
It didn't work!
Akira...
Akira?
Are you OK?
Where are we?
This must be the vampire stronghold.
I knew it! That bitch tricked us all along.
What are they going to do with us? Will we be killed?
What in the hell was that?
That's our food.
After she dies
it will be your turn. One by one, you'll be taken.
I wonder which one of you will be first...
I can't wait to find out.
Human eyes never lie.
Your eyes betray you when you lie.
Rei.
What do you think I see in your eyes now?
Anxiety and fear.
How do you think we knew you'd returned?
Raiki?
As you know, Raiki is a special improved vampire.
You were on that forklift, weren't you?
What's this about?
Don't play dumb with me!
I know you brought those kids here!
It was one of them who attacked you.
You can lie better than that, you backstabbing slut!
Don't blame me for your own screw-ups.
Watch what you say, you mortal!
Raiki, leave her alone, she's my plaything.
Rei.
Did you intend to kill me?
Master Miyabi...
This is interesting.
The thought of you cutting off my head in my sleep excites me.
I heard that the most delicious blood
is tainted with hatred and despair.
Rei...
We should see if it's really true.
Mother!
No! Mother!
No!
Our food just died.
The first of you to enter this circle will be our next food.
Decide among yourselves who it will be.
If nobody's willing to die, I'll decide.
You're about to go to hell alive!
Cry as much as you like, nobody's going to rescue you.
Pon, you go in.
No, I won't!
You're good for nothing anyway. Go on!
No, don't.
Stop, you two!
Good! Mortals are fascinating in situations like this!
Cut it out, you two.
No, I don't want to!
You two, stop it!
Please don't do this to me!
He's been chosen.
No, don't do it! Please help me!
Help me! Please!
Help! Please help me!
Ken?
Good. Now, does anyone want to take this boy's place?
Wait, I'm going with Ken!
No! Keep out of it!
Go ahead and act gallant now.
Soon you'll be weeping in horror and regret.
Yeah, you're really scaring me now.
Ken!
Akira, I'm counting on you.
You all stink!
OK, I'm coming.
Don't die, everybody! Survive!
Get your hands off!
Hey, stop pushing me around!
What the hell is this?
Look what we have here. A new lab rat.
Let's go.
Pon!
Come on.
Ken?
Ken!
I'm going to kill those bastards!
Akira, how are we supposed to rescue him?
Are you telling me to leave him?
If we go in that room unarmed we'll all get killed!
You have to think of what Ken would want...
- I have to rescue him. - Yuki.
I can't let Ken die while I survive.
Yuki, wait!
You guys, go ahead!
We'll wait at the island's highest point.
Come on!
Ken!
Yuki!
No!
Please don't kill me!
What are you two doing here?
I wanted to be a hero, too.
Why do you want to save them? They won't live.
Pon, come on, you have to try to keep up.
Move it, you're so slow.
Come on! They'll see you!
But you'll abandon me again!
Stop feeling sorry for yourself! We don't have any choice!
I don't trust you any more!
Hey, Pon!
Leave him alone, come on!
Ken!
Some mortals have escaped.
What?
We have some pretty lively ones this time.
Akira.
Hide!
Ken.
Akira!
Akira?
Atsushi?
Atsushi!
They're coming. We've got to move!
I thought that bitch had fooled us
but Atsushi was really here!
Did Rei bring you to the island?
She asked me to help you.
Who is that woman anyway?
Leave it alone.
Why did you come with her?
Because I was worried about you.
Who asked you to worry?
What's it to you?
How can you say that?
For two years we worried about you... Do you realise that?
We'd better go on our way.
Ken!
Nishiyama and Kato!
Everybody's here.
Akira.
Yuki.
We made it! Great!
Where is Pon?
He went off, saying he didn't want to be with us.
Did he get lost?
No, he said he couldn't trust us any more...
Atsushi?
We met up when we escaped.
That's something!
It's been so long, Atsushi!
We can be seen here.
Let's get moving.
What's this place?
An old military facility. This island was a stronghold.
The Type 38 Carbine was standard issue for Japanese soldiers.
Now it's just junk, there are no bullets left.
Yuki, here's a blanket.
Rest well. We'll move when it's dark.
Wait.
Can I go and look for Pon?
No. It's dangerous here. If you move around you'll end up dead.
Can't you sleep?
I wonder what made my brother change so much...
I guess he's been through a lot on this horrible island.
Come on, cheer up!
He's probably embarrassed to show his feelings.
I'm sure Atsushi is happy to see you.
Thanks.
I'm the one who should say thank you.
Thank you for saving Ken.
Akira...
Where is Akira?
Akira?
Where are you?
Pon...
Pon?
Guys, Pon's back!
Pon, are you OK? We were all worried about you.
If you were worried, why didn't you look for me?
Pon?
Pon, you managed to find us!
You were all together here...
I'm an outcast.
Come on! You walked away from us!
And who was it that offered me to them?
I thought you were my friends!
I've always been a pushover.
You've always taken advantage of me.
You used me.
On top of that, you say that I'm good for nothing!
Stop treating me like an idiot.
That's not how it is...
I've never thought of you that way.
Oh, yeah?
How come you didn't say anything to help me?
What?
When Ken took my place, you cried and wanted to join him!
When it was me, you looked the other way.
That shows what your opinion of me is.
You won't admit it, but you look down on me!
No, Pon. That's not true...
- It's unforgivable... - Pon, no...
- I won't forgive you. - Pon, listen!
I won't forgive any of you!
Pon... You're infected...
Let's get out of here!
This way!
Round spectacles man.
What a nice surprise to see you!
Miyabi.
Raiki, you can have him.
Akira, stay back!
Pon, please stop!
Ken, hurry up.
Pon!
I'm sorry, Pon!
Stop it!
Pon!
Snap out of it!
Everybody, move!
Pon, stop it!
Akira!
Ken!
Pon!
Stop that!
Ken.
Akira, what are you doing? Kill him!
No...
No! How can I kill him?
Pon!
Pon, snap out of it...
Pon, please stop!
Snap out of it!
Pon, stop!
Pon, please!
Yuki.
Touché!
Atsushi...
What have you done?
Pon's going to die...
Akira...
Pon...
Akira, I want to live...
Akira, let's go!
Come on, Akira!
Pon... Hey, Pon!
No, Pon!
Get back inside!
Pon! I can't leave him there!
Pon!
Get down!
This way.
Akira, come on!
Pon!
Move it!
Pon!
Akira!
Hey, that's my leatherjacket!
Kato!
Yuki.
You can't leave without saying goodbye.
You've improved, round spectacles man.
I can see hatred in your eyes.
Very good.
Hatred vitalises you, keeps you alive.
Why don't you join me now?
It wouldn't be so bad.
Silence, Miyabi!
Everybody, quick!
Move it!
This way!
Yuki!
- Yuki! - Akira, move it!
Akira, move it!
Just get in here.
Why didn't you rescue Yuki?
I won't risk my life against the odds.
What about Pon? Why did you have to kill him?
So he wouldn't kill you!
Harden up or you won't survive here.
And that's why we have to give up on Yuki?
Just leave her to the vampires?
What am I doing here?
Yuki risked her life to save me. And here I am...
There's one way we can rescue Yuki.
Follow me if you want her back.
Go to sleep. You need to rest and save your strength.
Didn't you come here with Ryoko?
Ryoko died.
It was all my fault.
What?
Ryoko was born and grew up on this island.
I knew there was something strange about the island,
but it was stranger than I imagined.
Do you know what you've done?
How could you bring back an outsider?
Oh, please, dear.
We managed to persuade them to let us marry.
Come on, I want to go home.
Don't you want to look inside?
No!
Since I was a child I've been told not to go in there.
A little look won't hurt.
Atsushi, let's go. I'm scared.
Help me...
I'm trapped in here...
Somebody's locked up in there.
Let me out of here...
That was the biggest mistake of my life.
Thank you, you saved my life.
Ryoko...
Atsushi...
Help!
Ryoko.
Atsushi, help me...
Ryoko...
Ryoko!
Miyabi had been confined in the shrine for decades...
until I unknowingly released him.
Next time I wonder where I'll be sewing you up...
Before that, I'll chop off your tongue.
Oh, I'm scared.
Igarashi.
How's your experiment going?
If it was that easy, the results would not be very interesting.
I'll dispose of you if you don't make me the perfect being!
I'm sorry! My apologies!
What's that fear I see? The horror is yet to begin!
Mortals will know real despair
when I become the most powerful of them all.
When all their hopes disappear.
I enjoy the terror and pleading in their eyes, as I suck up their lives.
What could be more fun?
I have to go to the toilet...
Do it in the bush!
Hey, wait for me!
They're resistance fighters.
Resistance fighters?
They survived but they all lost their families.
So there are others fighting the vampires!
This is Akira, my younger brother.
I have to speak with the master.
Release him.
We have visitors.
Atsushi's brother and his friends.
This is our master. He teaches us how to fight the vampires.
How have you been, sir?
I thought you went to finish Miyabi off.
Can I leave my brother and his friends here?
Wait a minute!
Weren't they going to help us rescue Yuki?
I see. You never intended to save her!
I have to protect you.
That's bullshit!
Akira, stop!
Let go of me!
You have to know your limitations!
Master, please. Teach me how to fight the vampires.
Please let me train with you just this once.
- Strike me with your sword. - What?
If you hesitate, you'll die. Fight!
No life has validity without spirit!
Go ahead and feed yourself to the vampires!
He has amazing potential.
Believe in yourself!
Don't you think these men are heartless?
Their families were killed but where's their compassion?
I guess Yuki is just a stranger to them. They're arseholes...
Six months ago, the vampires attacked us. One of us was infected.
He was just a kid, only 14.
But Master showed no hesitation in crushing his skull.
Even if one of us is captured alive,
we won't rescue him.
Do you understand?
That's how it is on the island. That's how we fight.
Akira, where are you going?
Are you going to keep the girl alive?
She might be good bait for some foolish mortals.
How does it feel...
to watch us feed on people you brought to the island?
Do you feel guilty?
Long ago, I stopped feeling anything.
No... That's too much!
One wrong move and Akira will die!
Looks like you're not serious about this after all.
Come on!
Mummy!
Mummy! Mummy!
Anger and sorrow make a man.
Look at him, that's how we became men...
Once he learns not to hesitate, he'll be superior to me.
Akira, wait! You can't rescue Yuki by yourself!
Maybe she's already become a vampire!
Akira!
I'm coming too, Akira.
Ken!
I knew you intended to go.
I can't live like you.
You suppress your feelings but I'd rather fight and die.
What do we have that the vampires don't?
A heart! Our feelings for others.
I believe that's our most powerful weapon against them!
You two are brothers after all.
Atsushi used the same words when he left to fight Miyabi.
Atsushi's gone?
Playtime is over.
No, we're not having fun yet.
Atsushi!
Round spectacles man, you can get down on your knees.
Atsushi!
I'll be waiting for you inside.
Come and fight me before I change my mind and kill the girl.
It's a trap.
There's no way you can defeat Miyabi. You're injured.
He can have me if he wants.
Wait for me!
Rei?
I'll fight with you.
Rei, your deception amazes me.
You even let me have your body.
Shut up, Miyabi!
I'll kill you at any cost!
You're awfully brave, Rei.
Have you forgotten where we are?
A gargoyle...
Rei!
What's wrong, round spectacles man? You're disappointing me.
Yuki.
I'm sorry I was late.
Akira!
Everybody! How come...?
Your brother convinced us to do things differently.
Small fish...
Go ahead, eat them all up!
Ken, protect Yuki!
Go find Igarashi.
He's in the confinement cell!
I'm sorry for what I did, Master.
No... We didn't lose what really matters.
It's beautiful... This blood bath is a celebration!
Round spectacles man!
Come on, I thought you wanted me!
Atsushi!
Finally it's just you and I.
Round spectacles man, let me tell you something about mortals.
I was born as the result of mortals' ego and madness.
Essentially we're no different from mortals.
It's survival of the fittest. The weak obeys.
That's the truth.
You're good enough to be my right-hand man.
Come here!
Come and join me, now.
I will not join you.
I have only one wish and that is to avenge Ryoko!
You fool.
Igarashi, you can't run!
Come on!
Detonate the bombs.
Akira?
I can't leave Atsushi!
Akira!
Atsushi?
Atsushi!
This is the beginning of a new world for you.
Atsushi!
Don't interfere, child!
Akira.
Finally, somebody is here to challenge me.
Interesting.
You're not strong enough against him.
Run!
Akira!
Atsushi.
Go ahead, resist me.
Hate me.
The deeper your hatred, the more pain you have!
It's living hell!
Rei, are you hurt?
Master, we have to go!
Rei!
I want to fight with Atsushi...
I have to kill Miyabi.
Evacuate!
Everybody, evacuate!
Ken! Nishiyama! Kato!
Evacuate!
Nishiyama! Kato!
Get down!
Akira...
I had a lot of fun.
Atsushi!
So helpless and adorable.
Akira, come on! Cut off his head!
But...
Don't hesitate. Kill him! You can get both of us.
You did well, round spectacles man!
Atsushi, let's get out of here!
- Atsushi, come on! - Stay away!
Leave me alone.
Remember what I told you?
Have no mercy for anybody who's infected.
That's the law of survival on this island.
Thank you, Akira, for coming to the island for me.
You helped me get myself back.
I can die as the Atsushi I was...
But, Atsushi...
Don't cry! It's not over for you yet.
You have to get your friends home, safe and sound.
But I can't leave you behind...
Rei, look after my brother.
Akira.
Tell Yuki how you feel about her.
Atsushi?
Atsushi.
Atsushi...
Atsushi!
Master, please take care of my brother and Pon.
Leave it to me.
I'll find them and make graves for them.
I'll come straight back once I drop them off.
Guys...
Our lives will never be the same again.
