The Mystery of Rampo (1994)

Starring:Naoto Takenaka, Michiko Hada, Mashiro Motiki
Director: Rintaro Mayuzumi, Kazuyoshi Okuyama

Premise:
Writer Edogawa Rampo just had his latest work censored by the government. Then the things in his story start to happen in real life.

My Take:
The movie has solid and slick direction. It definitely favors style over substance as the story is fairly lackluster.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: Netflix DVD
