description: Traumatised nightmare detective, girl patrenized, 3 girls, 2 death.
(Geoffrey): (rating 3,5)
Let's pretend you can go into people's dreams/nightmares and solve their nightmares. Sounds like a good story? It could have been a good story, but worked out quite dramatically. Specially when the editing is quite bad, like scenes were missing. Also the music was not very well done, more annoying than creating the sphere.
There is a story traumatised girl caused by another girl who feels like she is a victim as well. Then we have a traumatized nightmare detective. Every one seems traumatized or victimized. Too much for me, specially when it is worked out so badly.

Reining in the mare in nightmare

The first film was entertaining enough, this one seemed a bit darker. It cranked up the amount of SILDGWLBHWSRRWs on the festival which is always a good thing, storyline etc has been worked out well enough, but unfortunately it is drawn out too long in the end. Waking up... after waking up... after waking up... after. Yes. we get it.
But, besides all these remarks, a film that isn't ashamed to adher to the good traditions of Asian thriller film. With a beauty of a Freudian Cave by the way.

Nightmares come back to haunt and kill

Nightmare sequences in films have been done time and time again. This film (just like its predecessor) still manages to not only offer several scary nightmares, but they also adhere to the typicial dream/nightmare logic when it comes to extravagant visuals and (dis)connecting space and time.
Also noteworthy: the first (and last) appearance of the genre defining Japanese girl ghost!

A girl is haunted by nightmares and to get rid of them she visits the Nightmare Detective. The movie has a dreamy atmosphere, the few special effects used are good and effective. The movie actually tells two stories, that of the girl with nightmares and the story of the Nightmare Detective (ND) himself. The stories have a connection which has to do with being scared.
