A young woman found a man online and they decided to commit suicide together. Calling on the phone they planned to kill themselves at the same time. But something strange happened, when the girl was about to kill herself something unseen is trying to kill her. Though she has escaped and gotten safely inside the house she was still attacked. Keiko Kirishima (played by hitomi), a brilliant but seemlingly emotionless police detective handled the case. It was her first time on a crime scene and couldn't handle it at first. Though her collegues thinks its a suicide she is not sure. They asked for the assistance of a nightmare detective named Kagenuma (played by Ryuhei Matsuda), a young suicidal man who has the ability to enter other people's dream.

The story is kind of like Nightmare on Elm Street and Suicide Circle combined. The story about dreams are always confusing you don't know where it starts when shown in the story, which confused me a little bit.

Nightmare Detective (悪夢探偵, Akumu Tantei) is a 2007 Japanese horror film directed by Shinya Tsukamoto and released by Movie-Eye Entertainment Inc.
