Viewing Notes
Wow they totally lift Goblin’s Profondo Rosso for the score in this! Hilarious. Always fun to see see Kanji Tsuda even when he has some weird nose prosthetic as he does in this movie, another story by Hideshi Hino. The Theater Of Horror films are hit and miss but I like director Mari Asato’s ability to make micro-budget flicks entertaining (check out Dead Go Round). This movie is horrifying in a Pet Sematary way yet very funny.
