| SYNOPSIS | After a 50,000-year-old human fossil was discovered deep in the mountains of Japan, a series of bizarre and unsettling murders spread across the country. Mysteriously at each crime scene, a fish bowl and a deformed goldfish were found. Erika, an investigator for the Public Security Special Unit: Extraordinary Unit, takes on the case and believes the murders are the result of a psychic using goldfish as a weapon. Detectives Denzo and Yukine from the First Investigation Division are unable to believe Erika’s unrealistic theory. In spite of that, Erika’s theory becomes more and more realistic as a suspicious man disappears in thin air, a girl understands the feelings of goldfish, and a series of unexplainable incidents occur. Lurking in the shadows behind these incidents is a mysterious group of people… and Erika and the other detectives are soon caught up in a grand revenge plot by the genes of an ancient human race. |
| DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT | This film is a grand challenge created by us filmmakers who want to break the status quo of filmmaking, and the many “partners in crime”who support us. And we throw down the gauntlet by leading our controversial stories to the world. Check it out! A new and eerie specter rises from Japan! |
