« NIGHTMARE DETECTIVE once again brings you to a new level in Tsukamoto's film career. With his largest budget yet, one would expect him to sell out and give in but he does no such thing. The excessive money only gives Tsukamoto bigger ideas.»

«Whether Tsukamoto works better when using more gore is up for discussion, but Nightmare Detective falls a little short of his previous works. Just remember not to get too tired while watching the film: if you fall asleep you might not wake up.»

«What makes Nightmare Detective such an exciting film (particularly for the Tsukamoto fan) is that Tsukamoto has somehow manufactured his most commercial film to date while retaining his experimental/industrial filmmaking integrity. This film isn't a product of sell-out commercialism, but one that somehow feels like a work of a matured filmmaker who is not afraid to approach traditional storytelling techniques as viewed through his aesthetic.»

«Nightmare Detective‘s easy to convey premise of a brooding and enigmatic fellow who solves paranormal problems by entering into peoples dreams hides the fact that Tsukamoto is talking directly to the audience as the voyeur of such conventional horror spectacles. When Keiko takes a demotion from a high-level police job she does this for the thrill-seeking aspects of investigating a murder at ground level.»

«My first idea I had for ”Nightmare Detective” came when I was making ”Tetsuo." Over the years I got a lot of ideas and finally two years ago I sat down and wrote the script for it.»
