Description
 
Based on the short stories of Taro Hirai (Edogawa Rampo), a writer frequently referred to as Japan's Edgar Allen Poe, this horror anthology includes four tales of the macabre. In Mars Canal, a naked man (Tadanobu Asano) in a surreal, post-apocalyptic world reminisces about his final encounter with an ex-lover. Mirror Hell tells of a detective's efforts to track down a killer who burns his victim's corpses. Caterpillar stars Nao Omori as a war hero who's lost all of his appendages in combat. His wife (Yukiko Okamoto) serves as a caretaker, until her feelings toward the man turn unspeakably cruel. Finally, Crawling Bugs chronicles the nightmarish evening of a young actress who takes an impromptu detour to rendezvous with her lover. In Japanese with English subtitles.
