Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, this Japanese psycho-thriller follows Michio Hayasaki (Koji Yakusho), a scientist employed by Medical Cytech, a mysterious research conglomerate. Obsessed with his latest project, a "human body chair" complete with sensory-activated artificial limbs, Michio is in a typically aggravated state when he comes across what he thinks is his doppelganger in a local restaurant. This doppelganger sighting, an exact double of someone that is reportedly seen before their imminent death, is quite unnerving to the young scientist. Before long, however, it becomes an annoyance more than a grim reaper, as the doppelganger version of Michio tries to take over his career and later goes on a murderous rampage.
