The film that established Kiyoshi Kurosawa as the master of slow horror is a true masterpiece of J-horror, through a unique approach that combines terror with the serial crime film and an imposing atmosphere with pointy social remarks.

The story revolves around a series of murders occurring in Tokyo. The common elements in the cases are an X carved with blood in the victim’s neck, and the fact that the murderer is found close to the victims, but does not remember a thing. Detective Takabe and psychologist Sakuma are trying to find out what happened, but their research reaches a dead end. Eventually, one man named Mamiya emerges as the common link among the murders. The problem that nobody seems to grasp is that anyone who gets near Mamiya easily falls under his deadly influence.
