Plot
Every Monday, a young woman is murdered in the subway, leading psychiatrist Setsuko Suma to investigate Dr. Rei Aku's deprogramming of former sect members.
Sinekatalog’s take
A psychiatrist investigates weekly subway murders linked to a deprogrammer of former sect members. The Japanese thriller is cold, stylish and strange, slowly tightening its psychological knot. Appeals to fans of cerebral crime mysteries.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
