In an ever-burning but otherwise featureless city, a cop/private
eye/contract killer (Csaba Molnar) who has seen better days dishes out law
and order in what has become a world disinterested in things like law and
order. But his way to serve the law is to kill whoever his employer, the
pizza guy (Niko) tells him to kill - mostly hackers whom the pizza guy or
more likely his superiors want out of the way. But eventually, the pizza
guy sics our hero on a big fish, the charismatic leader (Zalán Makranczi)
of a cyber cult, who's more than able to fight back, both the old- and the
new-fashioned way ... Now truth to be told, at least after
watching it the first time, not everything in Cybersatan Apocalypse
Nightmares makes perfect sense, as the film refuses to explain things
away, often only hints at plotpoints, throws the audience into a world
that it seems not even the characters in the film fully understand, and
often prefers an associative to a linear mode of storytelling - but all of
this very much works in the film's favour, as this way it has become a
quite wonderful experience that plays with the audience's preconditioned
perceptions (including the movie's many film noir references) to more
often than not subvert them and make the whole thing into a quite
fascinating cyberpunk trip that needs to be seen to be believed.
