This is an eclectic compilation of four stylistically different films, based on the masterpieces of great Japanese mystery writer, Rampo Edogawa (a pseudonym based on Edgar Allan Poe). These dark narratives, entitled Mar’s Canal, The Hell Of Mirrors, The Caterpillar and Insect, are mysterious forays into grotesque and erotic fantasy worlds.

    I am having a difficult time rating this film. I love dark edgy films, such as OLDBOY, RED SHOES, MEMORIES OF MURDER, SPIDER FOREST. However, RAMPO NOIR–though it shed very little blood, was so psychologically sadistic it was extremely tough to watch. Yet— the cinematography was so beautiful and mesmerizing, it was hard to look away.I’m glad I saw it, but could not watch it again. Cinematography–5 stars. nenjoyability 2 stars. Equals 3 stars.
