『Mechanical Terror! -- Camp Japanese Horror Fun』
Toyd -- the Toy Doloid System, a full-feature 2-foot robot that owners can control with their cell phones. The wave of the future. A friend for your children. "It understands how you feel."

The time is now, and in the sprawling suburbs that are the home to millions of Japanese citizens crammed into "rabbit hutch" apartments within a small area, pollution, noise, bad economy, pressure to conform, and the pressure to get good grades driving kids into a murderous rage -- quite literally.

Inspector Shitara lost his wife in an accident 2 months ago, now he struggles to mend relations with his estranged daughter Kaori. Kaori, who is a 6th grader at the same elementary school as Mitsuru, a boy whose mother was recently and mysteriously murdered. Coincidentally Inspector Shitara is investigating the matter, however there is more here than meets the eye, here the tension between characters skyrockets when the death toll rises.

In the real modern Japan wherein violence is increasing, this movie has a poignant and hard story to tell. Though fiction, it reaches into the dark heart of a matter that many Japanese would rather not face. Parents abusing children and children murdering their parents in revenge is "something that doesn't happen here." Or does it?

Combining a mixture of modern and classical music, helmed by a veteran director, and studded with a cast of veteran horror actors and actresses, this movie creates a raw tension that puts the audience on the edge of their seats.

A new millennium horror film for the Child's Play crowd, only the evil inhabiting this doll is the darkness in the human heart, not a killer gone mad.

Filmed in widescreen, 16:9 format, with optional English subtitles. 112 minutes.
