Jun Fukuda directed this little gem that for some reason has fallen thru the cracks of Japanese sci-fi films.
The story is very simple. Detectives try and stop a madman who calls himself "Telegian" from killing all those he claims wronged him during World War 2.
The unique thing about this film is that the killer uses a mind transmitting machine to stalk his "enemies"and kill them. The movie moves along well, but it isn't like any other Japanese sci-fi film in that there is not a lot of monster action. It's a blend of sci-fi and crime drama which isn't a bad thing.
The print is a black and white pan and scan version, but that's fine as it's about the only way I'll probably ever be able to see the movie. I saw this was on streaming and just had to check it out.
All in all a fun film if you're in the right frame of mind. I liked it a lot.
