Prolific, extreme Japanese director Takashi Miike's MPD PSYCHO is based on a manga by Eiji Ootsuka. Produced for television, this release contains the first two episodes of a six episodes mini-series. Homicide detective Yousuke Kobayashi takes on the personality of calculating investigator Anamiya Kazuhiko after being traumatized by the murder of his wife. Anamiya solves the case by capturing the serial killer Shinji Nishizono. But a few years later, a mysterious cult with barcoded eyeballs is linked to a series of copycat murders that imitate the work of Nishizono. The multiple-personality detective, Kobayashi-Anamiya, is recalled from retirement to solve the case, but will his delicate mental condition survive an investigation with such a personal connection? MPD PSYCHO, despite being a television production, still contains the shocking violence and bizarre plotlines that have made Miike a cult favorite.

E. Elias Mehrige's SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE explores the fictional premise that the star of director F.W. Murnau's 1922 German expressionist horror film, NOSFERATU, was an actual vampire. When the dictatorial Murnau (John Malkovich) sets about filming his monster masterpiece, he makes a Faustian deal and enlists the grotesque, reclusive Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) to play the rodentlike Count Orlok. Schreck proceeds to both horrify and fascinate the unwitting cast and crew---including producer Albin Grau (Udo Kier), actor Gustav von Wangenheim (Eddie Izzard), and actress Greta Schroeder (Catherine McCormack)--who, at first, believe Schreck is merely an eccentric actor. As the production continues, however, mysterious accidents and deaths begin to reveal why Schreck never gets any makeup.From its lavish opening sequence to Murnau's filming of the final scene, Mehrige's movie serves as a tribute not only to the original NOSFERATU but to the art of cinema itself. Because Murnau's project is a silent film, the overbearing director can coax and shout at his actors during the takes, making for some cleverly comical scenes. Although Malkovich, Izzard, and Kier are excellent in their roles, SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE could simply not exist without Dafoe's hideous and hilarious performance, which ranks among the finest of the versatile actor's career.
