TOKYO PSYCHO (Tokyo Densetsu - 2004, Japan)
Megalopolis. It's a nice place to visit – especially if you want to die there.
From Ataru Oikawa, acclaimed director of Tomie, comes Tokyo Psycho, a harrowing plunge into obsession, violence and relentless terror made all the more chilling by one simple detail: Tokyo Psycho is based on a true story.
Sachiko Kokubu plays Yumiko, the beautiful owner of a Tokyo design agency whose upscale, enjoyable life is disrupted by fear.
First, a mysterious woman summons her at dawn with no explantion. Then Yumiko receives paper scraps stitched together with piano wire that spell out an unnerving message – "I know you were meant to marry me." Finally, as Yumiko prepares for a class reunion, someone sends her a copy of her school photo drenched in blood.
That someone is the Tokyo Psycho.
Summoning a friend, Yumiko embarks on a brutal, exhilarating nightmare investigation into her tormentor, awakening long forgotten memories and facing unimaginable horrors. For all the city's crowds and commotion, she cannot hide from Tokyo Psycho.
Director Oikawa's innovative visuals perfectly match Sachiko Kokubu's powerfully compelling lead performance, making Tokyo Psycho a must-see for fans of modern Japanese horror cinema.
