The premise

An anthology film consisting of four segments based on literary works by Edogawa Ranpo.

Horror Vault's take

A Japanese anthology film that draws from the darkly imaginative literary canon of Edogawa Ranpo, one of Japan's most celebrated mystery and horror writers. Four distinct segments, each helmed with its own visual identity, plunge into realms of obsession, murder, and transgression that blur the line between reality and nightmare. The film leans heavily into surrealist and experimental filmmaking, making atmosphere and symbolism as important as narrative. Fans of boundary-pushing, art-house horror will find it a genuinely singular experience.
