Illegal brain chips make people into psychopaths, someone dresses up in a Babadook-style children's horror fantasy fairytale outfit and hunts psychopaths.
A guy and his best friend are friends because they're psychopaths, but one of them discovers he is only an artificial psychopath, and has a crisis of faith.
Surprisingly serious for a Miike film, it's not just a silly, raucous slaughterfest.
It's not very silly at all, in fact, and asks some pretty serious questions about humanity, morality, and identity.
