A porn actress vanishes, and, with a snuff video of her murder allegedly circulating, a feisty journalist looks into the bizarre case. The movie’s original title refers to muzan-e, Japanese 19th century woodblock prints with extreme forms of depictions of violence that are also regarded as the precursors of ero guro artworks. Which determines the general direction of this creatively volatile genre-hybrid: Celluloid Nightmares, besides its drastic moments of violence, also goes on a deep dive into the world of Japanese fetish porn.
