The premise
A young man kills his bride on the day of his marriage and goes insane. He wakes up in an asylum with no memory, left in the hands of two mysterious doctors who relate his condition with his biological identity.
Horror Vault's take
A young man awakens in a psychiatric asylum with no recollection of who he is or how he came to be there, trapped in a fog of fractured memory and unresolved violence. Two enigmatic doctors circle him with theories that reach deep into his ancestry, blurring the line between diagnosis and manipulation. Set against the haunting atmosphere of Taisho-era Japan, the film unfolds as a labyrinthine puzzle that questions the very nature of sanity, identity, and hereditary doom. Adapted from Yumeno Kyusaku's notoriously labyrinthine 1935 novel, it remains one of Japanese cinema's most genuinely disquieting and structurally audacious works.
