Akumu Tantei (Nightmare Detective) (DVD) (Standard Edition) (Japan Version) DVD Region 2

From Tetsuo: The Iron Man to Tokyo Fist, Japanese cult director Tsukamoto Shinya has built his career on subverting and shocking through grotesque subject matters, graphic images, and over-the-top violence. His films take viewers on lush, surreal journeys to the root of human nature, however ugly and disturbing that may be. Tsukamoto's latest film Nightmare Detective (a.k.a. Akumu Tantei) is a paranormal thriller exploring the murky subconscious where dreams and reality collide. The film is as dark, violent, and remarkably imaginative as can be expected from Tsukamoto, who himself appears in the film as the root of evil. With a sequel already in the works, Nightmare Detective is also Tsukamoto's most accessible and commercially friendly entry to date, with singer hitomi and popular arthouse actors Matsuda Ryuhei and Ando Masanobu leading the cast.

Detective Kirishima Keiko (hitomi) is investigating two mysterious deaths. In both cases, the subjects apparently commit suicide in gruesome fashion shortly after dialing "0" on their phones; even stranger, a witness claims that one of them seems to have been attacked in his dreams. Although veteran cop Sekiya (Osugi Ren) dismisses the cases as suicide, Keiko, along with detective Wakamiya (Ando Masanobu), decide to investigate further. Believing that the key to the mystery lies in the dreams, they try to enlist the assistance of Kagenuma Kyoichi (Matsuda Ryuhei), a troubled young man whose psychic powers, amongst them the ability to enter dreams, have earned him the name "Nightmare Detective". When he refuses to help, Keiko, desperate for an answer, decides to dial "0" herself.
