Viewing Notes
First feature viewed from JAPAN CUTS 2021 and did it at Secret Cinema as to include Ron and Tonia. This movie is a blast and it knows it. Clearly influenced by popular Western Horror film but also playing homage to those, Tsukamoto is having fun w/the tropes. The new 2K scan looked nice and will be a good one to own when it is released.
