| Overview: | Based on Sony's PS2 cult classic video game, "Forbidden Siren"/"Siren 2".
As reported in 1976, the inhabitants of a solitary island of Yamajima were once annihilated except for a crazy man who shouted a mysterious warning: "When you hear the siren, never go out."
Thirty years later, Yuki Amamoto goes to the island with her father, a freelance reporter, and her little brother who suffers from neurological disorders. Though they are welcomed by a young doctor, Minamida, who shows them the island, all the islanders look creepy and unfriendly to Yuki. The house they live in has long been deserted, full of dust and old blood stains.
Her neighbour, staying next door, helps her clean the house and gives her the same strange warning: "When you hear the siren, never go out". It is the beginning of a series of mysterious incidents: A group of dancers in fancy clothes, mysterious scribbles on the walls of a ruined house, a suddenly deserted market, a pretty girl in a red dress standing on the hill... Gradually, Yuki loses her trust in the people around her. She is determined to protect her brother from the unknown peril that seems to be surrounding them. Then one night, she hears the siren. But her father goes to the forest to take pictures of the nocturnal animals. When he returns, something is very wrong with him, as he seems cold-blooded and behaves like a different man.
As the second siren sounds, Yuki and the doctor goes to a steel tower on the hill which the villagers are scared of, because the siren blares from the top of it. There she finds a notebook of the survivor of the 1976 annihilation of villagers, containing the truth of the incident. It describes how the murders took place, but is cut halfway: "The third siren changed the villagers into..." At the same time, the siren begins to roar the third time. The severed bits of mystery begin to assemble together to reveal the truth of the 1976 massacre, and it leads to the solution of the mystery of the siren...
