A vivid adaptation of the short stories of Taro Hirai A.K.A. Edogawa Rampo, often recalled as the Japanese Edgar Allan Poe. Four auteur directors provide a shocking compilation of short films each stylistically different and based on the masterpieces of the great Japanese mystery writer. These dark narratives are mysterious forays into grotesque and erotic fantasy worlds.
