Both films are directed by Yudai Yamaguchi, and they both carry the surreal mood tag, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The ABCs of Death, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ten Nights of Dreams is

Moonlight pooling through a paper screen. A wooden lantern gutters out. A blind masseuse listens to a heartbeat that isn’t his own. In one night, a sleepwalker counts his ribs while a kimono steams on a line. Ten dreams, ten filmmakers, each fold of sleep unspooling a new nightmare wrapped in silk and static. Japanese surrealism’s last known heist: stealing shadows from the subconscious.
