Hell Girl is 2019 movie Japanese supernatural horror movie and a movie adaptation of the anime and manga of the same name. There is a rumor of a mysterious website called "Hell Correspondence", which can only be accessed at midnight, where people can enter names of those they have a grudge against to send them to Hell, however, as a price, they too will be sent to Hell when they die. Miho Ichikawa, a high-school student, becomes friends with a girl named Haruka Nanjo, both of them being fans of a singer Maki. However, when they visit one of Maki's concerts, strange things begin to happen around them.

- Even Evil Has Standards: During the Distant Prologue, Kaede Yamada is shown along her two friends bullying Kudou. Kaede then slammed Kudou against a shelf with protruding nails, wounding her head. While Kaede laughs over this, her two friends were horrified, clearly not expecting that Kaede would go that far.
