From first time director Inoue Yasuo comes the brutal revenge thriller,
The Neighbor No.13! This uncompromising
new film centers on the trials and tribulations of one Murusaki Juzo (Oguri Syun), a mild-mannered youth who finds himself
constantly harassed at school. It seems that a relentless gang of thugs led by Akai Toru (Hirofume Arai) take great pleasure
in abusing poor Juzo on a daily basis, eventually leaving the young boy with permanent psychological scars. Ten years later,
Juzo discovers that his former tormentor Akai now lives in the apartment directly above him, along with his faithful wife
Nozomi (Yoshimura Yumi, from the pop duo Puffy AmiYumi) and his little child. Things get even worse when Juzo makes another
shocking discovery: not only do both he and Akai work at the same construction company, but Akai is his boss! Now, even as
adults, the bullying resumes once more, this time in the workplace.
However, Juzo isn't going take things lying down. It seems years of pent-up aggression have caused him to split off into
another personality, a deadly psychopath known only as Neighbor No.13 (played by actor Nakamura Shido). This ultra-violent
doppelganger is cold, vicious, and unafraid to eliminate anyone who stands in his way, even innocent people! As Neighbor No.13's
violent assaults become more and more arbitrary, Juzo realizes he must somehow suppress his killer alter ego, but can he actually
succeed? Based on the popular manga by Inoue Santa and featuring a cameo from cult director Miike Takashi, The Neighbor
No.13 is a brutal film about one man's curious brand of vengeance that proves director Inoue Yasuo is definitely a filmmaker
to watch!
