In the tradition of Seven and Silence of the Lambs comes this genuinely spine-tingling horror/thriller from one of Japan's most talked about filmmakers, Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Set in and around a bleak, decaying Tokyo, a series of murders have been committed by average, ordinary people who claim to have had no control over their horrifying actions. Following the only link, a mysterious stranger who had brief contact with each perpetrator/victim, detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho, Shall We Dance, Warm Water Under a Red Bridge) places his own sanity on the line as he tries to end the wave of inexplicable terror.
