From the director of the Tetsuo the Iron Man films (which are okay, but over hyped, I mean we don't need three) nd some greatly under appreciated films no one talks about (Gemini and Snake of June among others) comes a new series. The sequel to this is playing Japan Cuts this year. Its the story of a man with the ability to go into peoples dreams.He doesn't like it since it poses all sorts of problems for him and the person dreaming. He reluctantly begins to help a cop try and solve what appears to be a series of murders of people being killed in their dreams. The killer is a person called O who also can enter peoples dreams.
I like the concept but the film feels like a low budget TV movie or part of a series with these tight closeups and odd visual choices that scream TV production. The film mostly deals with the female cop who is trying to solve the crimes and who is cold and the sort of person who doesn't have issues rather she has volumes. The character of the Nightmare Detective is great he's the right sort of combination of traits so we really like him even if we don't know much about him.
Worth a rental. (I've read the second film is better so I'm looking forward to that)
