“You die in the dream, you die for real.”

The premise
When a number of suicide victims slash themselves in their sleep, detective Keiko Kirishima is called to investigate.
Horror Vault's take
In the neon-drained shadows of Tokyo, a string of bizarre deaths forces detective Keiko Kirishima to pursue a killer who may not exist in the waking world. Her only hope is a reclusive young man with a dangerous gift — the ability to enter other people's dreams. Director Shinya Tsukamoto brings his trademark industrial unease to a case where the boundary between nightmare and reality dissolves completely. Visceral, hallucinatory, and deeply personal, this J-horror entry crawls under your skin long after the credits roll.
