JAPANESE MOVIES
Title: 双生児
Psy-Horror movie by Rampo Edogawa's book. Released September 15, 1999
Directed by: Shinya Tsukamoto
Edogawa Rampo was the pseudonym of Taro Hirai (1894-1965), generally viewed as the greatest of all Japanese suspense and mystery authors. He was a prolific novelist and short story writer. Much influenced by writers such as Conan Doyle, Chesterton and Wells, his pseudonym is a Japanese transliteration of Edgar Allen Poe's name. Many of his works have been made into films. Perhaps his most famous stories outside Japan are 'The Caterpillar' and 'The Human Chair'.
Here are my five favourite books of the Japanese supernatural. What are yours?
