Winner: Audience Award, Best Film: 2007 Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film

Based on the wildly popular Manga, DEATH NOTE's plot is formulated on the somewhat dubious premise of a magical book that has the power to kill anyone who's name is written inside. The premise however merely serves to set up the tense psychological battle between Light, the owner of the book who has decided to use the strange power as a vigilante executioner; and "L," the enigmatic, incognito mastermind of the police dragnet. A smash hit in Japan, DEATH NOTE was quickly followed up with the continuation "DEATH NOTE: THE LAST NAME." Additional sequels are in the works.
