The Blue Light (Japan, 2003)

Shuichi Kushimori is a 17-year-old student who lives a happy life with his mother and his sister. Without warning, one day his missing stepfather, Sone, is back after a long absence. Sone is soon in a vicious circle of drinking and starts to harass his ex-wife and stepdaughter. When he makes sexual advances towards Shuichi's sister, Shuichi decides to take matters into his own hands. 

The Blue Light is a well-performed dive into a young mans psyche as he feels forced to commit murder. The anxiety grows and it all becomes a downward spiral that can't possibly end well. Or could it? 

Genre: Drama/Crime
