Adapted from the hit manga series and directed by genre master Takashi Miike (Audition, Agitator, Ichi the Killer) MPD PSYCHO is a subversive Y2K fever nightmare.
Yosuke Kobayashi, a detective assigned to a homicide unit, saw his wife killed by a serial killer, Shinji Nishizono. From a shock he suffered MPD (multiple personality disorder) and became Kazuhiko Amamiya. After he managed to hunt down and kill the murderer of his wife, a new series of murders have occurred and the suspects claimed to be Shinji Nishizono himself. Is it really him? Or a copycat? And who is Kazuhiko Amamiya?
At once violent, disturbing, surrealist, stylish and comedic, the series is a must-see for J-Horror and Miike fans.
