Nightmare Detective 2 (Japan, 2008)

Still haunted by his unwanted abilities, which allows him to enter other people’s dreams, and memories of his mother dying when he was a child, Kyoichi Kagenuma contemplates suicide while slowly drowns in his world of misery. Yukie Mashiro, having heard rumours about Kagenuma's extraordinary abilities, visits his home to beg for his help. She tells him she suffers from nightly nightmares that are getting scarier. The murderous ghost in the dreams has already killed two of her friends and she's afraid she's the next to die.

Nightmare Detective 2 is directed by Shinya Tsukamoto, and even though he already has an impressive filmography, this movie stands out as one of his best. Probably because it doesn't go off in any crazy direction, and just stays on path the whole way and tells a interesting story. One of his more mainstream films, you could say.

Genre: Drama/Horror
