When a grisly, point-of-view snuff videotape is found in a refrigerator, a young man becomes obsessed with tracking down its creator and finding out whether or not the brutal murder depicted on it was real. As he delves deeper into Tokyo’s underground video scene with a female reporter who calls herself Crime Hunter, his own perversions come to the fore.
Fusing gruesome gore and raw sex while wryly paying tribute to Michael Powell’s seminal PEEPING TOM, RE-WIND (also known as CELLULOID NIGHTMARES) is one of legendary pink (pinku eiga) film director Hisayasu Satô's most powerful and impressive early works, rarely screened in America until now.
