Japanese detective Keiko Kirishima discovers that two suicide cases were in fact murders after the evidence reveals that both victims were attacked in their dreams. This supernatural thriller follows Keiko as she tries to enlist the help of the NIGHTMARE DETECTIVE, her only hope against a paranormal serial killer. (official distributor synopsis)

My first encounter with Tsukamoto and straight away such an almost flawless movie experience. Without the occasional phases where it rather drags, there isn’t much to fault here. An interesting topic, molded into an original movie by means of very powerful visuals and marvelous sound effects, all with a great atmosphere. Instead of A Nightmare on Elm Street, I think a better comparison is with a detective style Suicide Club.

Nightmare on Elm Street + One Missed Call + Inception. An atmospheric horror story that for Western audiences can be strange, both in the behaviour of the characters and in the way it blends imagination and reality.
