Viewing Notes

Hilarious that is available via Screambox. Also it’s a nice addition for them and has me wondering if one of these boutique labels is going to release it now that the TokyoShock release is long out of print and commands big money on the secondary market. Unearthed, Error 4444, or Massacre would be the appropriate labels but curious if a bigger company would take this one given its huge notorious reputation and director.

Still not a movie for me but I get the appeal for red film enthusiasts. I’m not a fan nor use the term “torture porn” but this is probably the poster child for it. Just insanely over the top and gruesome and meanspirited. Still amazed that Shiraishi made this movie after NOROI
