In a general hospital near bankruptcy, the reduced staff is working under a severe stress. During the emergency attendance to a burned patient with Dr. Uozumi (Masanobu Takashima) and two other nurses, Dr. Akiba (Kôichi Satô) and the nurse commit an error, injecting potassium chloride and killing him. Dr. Uozumi convinces the team to forge the report to save their careers. Meanwhile, an ambulance leaves a patient in the emergency with a lethal infection. When the muscles and internal organs of the patient liquefy, Dr. Kiyoshi Akai (Shirô Sano) convinces his two colleagues to examine and research the virus, leading the employees of the night shift to a tragic end.

I love the sound design on this DVD. It's remarkable. The soundtrack is memorably creepy-sounding. Otherwise, what he said. (The positive review above.) I have to say a lot more in order to reach the specified length necessary for publishing it online on the IMDb. So one of the nurses in this movie makes the following comment--"A lot of what we see is actually a product of our mental process. If brain circuitry is altered...memories can begin to move again." That's more profound after a first viewing. The subtitles are fast but accessible enough. And the fact is that I'm renting this DVD from Netflix, and I opted to watch the disc a second time, the very same night. It's intricately-plotted, and a bit confusing the first time through. But it will stand up to repeat viewings quite well. (The other movie I plan to see again soon is Star Wars 3.)
