Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa made this effective thriller with a perfect blend of horror and drama. A psychic and her husband become entangled in a kidnapping case which they try to use to their advantage with devastating consequences. Instead of staying within the limits of the genre, Kurosawa blends a healthy dose of drama around its characters. The psychic haunted by her gift wants social acceptance and its benefits such as fame and fortune which could turn her existence into an happier one which leads her to make a terrible choice. The talented cast includes Kôji Yakusho and Jun Fubuki. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
