'aka' 'Blind Beast vs. Killer Dwarf' is a 2001 Japanese horror film directed by Teruo Ishii in his final effort before his 2005 death.

Mieko Tanaka, elected to the Diet in the 2009 Japanese general election, appears in a role that includes a nude scene. This precipitated a surge in its sales that year.[http://www.tokyoreporter.com/2009/09/17/erotic-scene-in-cult-flick-adds-to-troubles-for-dpjs-tanaka/ tokyoreporter.com 2009/09/17]

Plot



While returning home after viewing an all-girls opera, dime-novel writer Monzo Kobayashi encounters a strange deformed dwarf dressed in samurai garb carrying a woman's severed arm. Unnerved yet fascinated by the encounter, Monz begins his own research into dwarfs including the mysterious samurai-clad man. Introduced to investigator Kogoro Akechi by an old friend, Monz learns about a string of grisly murders involving the same man whom Monz had encountered. As time wears on, Monz's fascination soon becomes an obsession as he desperately tries to find the secret behind the murders and the strange man.
