Viewing Notes
Pretty wild to find a V-Cinema flick on Tubi. There’s a few that I saw pop up on there. This one is more just weird and fascinating than an actual good movie. It’s more like these filmmakers had a kernel of an idea then fashioned a sixty minute movie around it. But I love these guys and gals just doing their thing and making a movie even if it doesn’t make any sense.
Oh shit this was directed by Shinji Imaoka who made Underwater Love, which I saw at Fantastic Fest. A softcore porn about a Kappa yokai. Hahahaha now this movie makes more sense. LOL
