Eko Eko Azarak: Wizard of Darkness (1995) - Shimako Satō.

Shimako Satō's enduring, continually bewitching 90s J-horror cult classic is based on the popular supernatural/occult manga Eko Eko Azarak. Masquerading as Kawaii transfer student Misa Kuroi (Kimika Yoshino), she is, in actuality, a powerful white witch, visiting cursed schools to dispel the malign machinations of Mephistopheles! Once enrolled at school, Kuroi very swiftly divines an occult presence, but as the malevolent incidents escalate, the fearful students falsely accuse Kuroi of being the evil instigator! Eko Eko Azarak: Wizard of Darkness remains a heroically hellzapoppin' high school horror romp with lively characters, a beguiling performance from Yoshino, sapphic distractions, spectacularly sinister spells, and a gorgeously gruesome, rousingly brimstone-blasted climax!
