Viewing Notes
Enjoyed the slow burn psycho-thriller of Toshiharu Ikeda’s The Man Behind the Scissors (2005). The twists and turns are interesting enough but nailing the real bad guy shouldn’t be too difficult. Always love seeing Hiroshi Abe. And somehow Ikeda is able to make Kimiko Aso positively unattractive.
