      While in the mountains of Japan, a coyote is heard howling. Coyotes are only found in the Americas.

    Weird
    This is a really weird Japanese movie about a scientist forced to take time off because he's so stressed out. Then it gets really weird. It's about what you expect based on the poster and title and is hard to find a DVD of but easy to get online because it has fallen into the public domain.
