She and Takako stalk Kouichi when he's stalking Mei, and both freak out when they figure out what he's up to. She doesn't do much for most of the movie until they get to the Inn. She's kind of a bitch to Takako and yells at her for trying to sit near Kouichi and Mei; then she turns around and blames the entire Calamity on Mei (like she always does).

Takeru and Naoya steal Matsunaga's tape and play it for Tomohiko and Yuuya. Tomohiko goes to tell the girls how to end the Curse, but sees Naoya attack and apparently kill Yuuya on the way. Tomohiko gets to the girls' room just in time for an electrical wire to short out and trap them. He explains how to end the Curse ("send the Dead back to Death"), but Takako makes it abundantly clear she's not going to help them kill anyone. This pisses off Izumi even more, and she accusses Takako of pretending to be a "good girl" because she's really the Extra. Tomohiko sticks up for her, and Izumi asks him whose side he's on, before proceeding to stab Takako in the throat.

Naoya, having overcome his brief homicidal impulse, shows up a minute later with Mei, having been going around urging everyone to leave. He sees what Izumi's done and demands to know what's going on, but before he can get an answer Tomohiko calls him out for attacking Yuuya (who everyone at this point thinks is dead). Naoya panics and flees, only to get himself electrocuted. Realizing Takako probably wasn't the Extra (since the Calamity has just killed someone else), Izumi decides to kill Mei, and chases her out to the lake, only to behead herself (somehow) on a mooring cable.

So...I'm really not sure which is worse: psychopathic Izumi or self-absorbed Izumi. Probably the latter, because the only people who died at the Inn in the film were those who tried to take matters into their own hands (Izumi herself, Naoya, and Takeru); in the manga, Junta, Takako, Manabu Maejima, and some other guy I can't remember are all killed and did nothing to deserve it.
