...cement[s] Tsukomoto's status as one of the most egregiously untalented and flat-out worthless filmmakers around... Go to Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena 03/15/2008
1/5
Possivelmente o trabalho mais "acessvel" de Tsukamoto, tambm um dos piores, surgindo como uma cpia sem inspirao de tantos outros exemplares da recente onda do terror japons. Go to Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet 02/28/2008
2.5/5
An Asian combination platter of Dreamscape, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and just about every technology-obsessed J-horror flick you can think of. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Wolfgang G 12/15/2022 Nightmare Detective ist ein japanischer Horrorfilm von Regisseur und Drehbuchautor Shin'ya Tsukamoto. Die Geschichte spielt in der Anonymität der Großstadt Tokio, die Stadt wirkt modern aber auch kalt, Anonym und todessehnsüchtig… . Die Story hat auch einen Mystischen Einschlag von Träumen, Suizid und Seppuku… . Die Hauptdarsteller Ryūhei Matsuda in der Rolle von Nightmare Detective, und Hitomi als Keiko Kirishima geben ein fantastisches Spiel ab. See more 06/15/2014 A very twisted, eery supernatural horror film. See more 03/06/2014 Perhaps an A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET inspired piece maybe. Once again, a could-be potential story being narrated in a very boring plus dragging way in the hands of Japanese (production). See more 01/14/2014 (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] See more 05/17/2013 A Japanese nightmare in Elm Street meets the Suicide Circle. You just dont want to see that detective to die. See more 03/17/2013 It's worth a watch, especially if you're a fan of mystery graphic novels, because it carries the same feel and flow.....
