Mystery of the Necronomicon Movie Review 2000

This anime owes much more to "Urotsukodoji" than to H.P. Lovecraft, though it appropriates the horror master's famous book of evil. The plot is a Grand Guignol mixture of violence and sex set at a snowbound mountain ski resort where a group of characters, including our hero detective Suzusaki (voices of Nakamura and Wilson in Japanese and English), are trapped with a mad murderer.
