I'm certain I can't be the only one who thinks Kikiyama drew major inspiration form the movie "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". See the man in the poster? No, that's not Masada, that's Cesare the Somnambulist. In the film, Cesare is kept sleeping in a coffin-like cabinet...Or so it seems. I reality, he's out running around committing murder. HOWEVER, at the end of the movie it is revealed that there was no murder and no cabinet of Dr. Calligari...Everything in the movie was a flashback as told to the narrator by an insane young woman. The real Cesare was a patient in the same mental institution as her.Need I mention finding Madotsuki asleep in a cabinet? Last edited 09/10/07(Wed)07:13.

...Sounds reasonable.Actually it makes perfect sense.It mostly sounds like The Uninvited, that is.This movie seems like something I'd want to get my hands on to watch, I'll give it a shot.Although Jacob's Ladder did remind me a bit of Yume Nikki.OR CRANK LOL J/K.

I'm pretty sure this was mentioned on YN's TV tropes page somewhere. It makes sense.
That was such a good movie.
