Storyline
Three apparently unrelated suicides occur on the same day in Tokyo. One involves a young athlete, one a groom at his wedding reception, and the third an elderly man celebrating his wife's birthday. A middle aged detective investigating one of the cases begins to suspect a connection between the three when he discovers that each person mentioned a "green monkey" before they died. With the help of a young psychiatrist he formulates the theory that hypnosis is somehow involved. In the mean time other bizarre "suicides" are reported and the mystery intensifies. Who will be next? What is the truth? Can more deaths be prevented? Written by Infofreak

This movie is SO MUCH FUN to watch! I think this movie is highly underrated. Although it is a little known picture here in our Hollywood (CRAP) dominated US of A, it is an excellent movie.
The plot may seem a little confusing at first, but just wait, I promise it all comes together quite nicely in the end. Miho Kanno's performance as the tortured Yuka Irie is very good. She almost doesn't look like the same person as the film progresses (and not just because of different make up).
This movie builds all the way to the end, and then when you think you're near the end...another twist. The story is original and unique. This is how suspense should be!
HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended.
