Viewing Notes
Yes if I didn’t already know I would suspect it was directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura. In fact, this could play as a prequel to Tokyo Gore Police. It has the gore and style that would be refined in TGP. A man is haunted by some monstrous entity until succumbing to it and becoming the beast. Lifts from DEATH RACE 2000 as well.
It’s amusing that 25 years ago when this was made that overpopulation and pollution in Tokyo were sci-fi issues. Of course Tokyo is still the most populated city in the world but Japan is now facing underpopulation as a whole. Shinjuku as the primary location is neat to see as usual.
This would’ve been better to view on my phone over my TV. It was very muddy. Would like to view a nice version of this. In a just world, this would be an special feature on the TGP Blu-ray, which I need to get.
