What happens

Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman (Japanese: 口裂け女, Hepburn: Kuchisake-onna) (also known as A Slit-Mouthed Woman) is a 2007 Japanese supernatural horror film directed by Kōji Shiraishi and written by Shiraishi and Naoyuki Yokota. Based on the Japanese urban legend known as Kuchisake-onna, or "the Slit-Mouthed Woman", the film stars Eriko Sato as Kyōko Yamashita, a divorced mother and teacher who attempts to solve a series of child abduction cases with the help of her co-worker Noboru Matsuzaki, played by Haruhiko Kato. The film was followed by a prequel, Carved 2: The Scissors Massacre, in 2008. In 2016 a film titled Slit Mouth Woman in L.A. was released, but is unrelated to the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
