Mutant Girls Squad (2010)
14 hours ago | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: Noboru Iguchi, Yoshihiro Nishimura, Tak Sakaguchi
Written by: Jun Tsugita
Starring: Yumi Sugimoto, Naoto Takenaka, Tak Sakaguchi, Yuko Takayama
The delightfully insane Mutant Girls Squad is the latest frenetic experience in the Japanese splatter movement.
It brings together three of the most famous filmmakers in this inexplicable subgenre for the first time. Directors Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl), Yoshihiro Nishimura (Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl) and Tak Sakaguchi (Samurai Zombie) have created a very wet, very funny body horror tale that is being touted as a spoof of the X-Men films. While there are a few similarities to that comic book franchise, Mutant Girls Squad is a decidedly different monster.
Rin (Yumi Sugimoto) is a timid teenager who is savagely bullied at school. Upon her 16th birthday, she discovers that she’s the progeny of a half-human, half-mutant union. This would explain why her right hand can morph »

All three films (including Two Thousand Maniacs and Color Me Blood Red) highlighted superior transfers, but Blood Feast was the standout. »

The producers of Robogeisha invite you to the Killer Motel
12 April 2012 2:38 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
After attempting to deliver a Japanese film that looked to capture the Western perspective of Japanese culture with Noboru Iguchi's Robogeisha, producer Akira Yamaguchi and T.O. Entertainment have just announced their latest project: erotic horror flick Killer Motel, that hopes to put a Japanese spin on the decidedly Western slasher genre.Directed by Kazuya Ogawa, whose first film PInk Subaru won the Cinegar and Special Jury Awards at the 2011 Yubari International Film Festival, Killer Motel will star a host of gorgeous young actresses including Emi Ito, Akari Hoshino, Ren Ayase and Yuki Maeda, who we can expect to see drenched in blood, stripped to their smalls and horrifically butchered for our entertainment. The film's producer Yamaguchi touts the film as an "action-packed horror with an erotic »

10 April 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Ok, so not impressed with the new trailer for Noboru Iguchi's Japanese horror comedy 'Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead' we posted up last week? Well you must be more of a breast person then. Luckily for you though filmmaker Francois Fujimoto has revealed a new teaser for his horror comedy 'Zomboobies'!

Lovers of the gratuitous will be pleased to know that the new teaser (shown below) features bouncing boobies, hot busty Asian chicks dressed as nurses and a smattering of blood. And with a promise of seeing 'boobs doing things that boobs have never done before' from director Fujimoto what's not to like? »
Another Scatologically Satisfying Trailer for Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead
9 April 2012 9:04 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
At this point, you’ve probably already decided if director Noboru Iguchi’s “Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead” is something you want to watch. Personally, I can’t wait to see it, though I have very low morals when it comes to cinema. It’s hard to resist a motion picture that focuses almost strictly on feces and shapely Japanese behinds, though I’m sure the majority of you will are immune to the film’s powers. I can’t say that I blame you for sitting this one out. For those who care, here’s a needlessly lengthy synopsis: Wracked with guilt over the suicide of her sister Ai, who was tormented by high school bullies, pretty yong karate student Megumi accompanies a group of older friends on a trip into the woods: smart girl Aya, her druggie boyfriend Tak, big-boobed model Maki, and nerdy Naoi.

New International Trailer for Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead Reveals Shit Loads
6 April 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Last September we bought you a some new artwork and stills from Noboru Iguchi's ('Robo-Geisha') new Japanese horror comedy 'Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead'. It was being tagged as 'the most crap-tastic zombie movie ever to emerge from Japan's cinema sewer' and the newly revealed trailer for the bizarre flick which has now arrived certainly fuels that label. The trailer (shown below) features hot girls farting, shit covered toilet zombies, exploding heads, puke and topless Japanese chicks. It's quite the odd mixture to take in on a Friday afternoon. The movie stars Arisa Nakamura, Mayu Sugano, Asami, Yuki, Dani, Kentaro Kishi, Kentaro Shimazu, Demo Tanaka and the gorgeous Asana Mamoru (below). Check out the new trailer, some additional stills and the one-sheets below. »

Insane Nsfw Trailer for Zombie Ass: Toilet Of The Dead
5 April 2012 3:11 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I think we need to take a moment and recognize that a movie called Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead is a thing that exists. This isn’t some no-budget YouTube video that some bored college kids put together, this is an actual movie that was produced for mass-consumption. I was blissfully unaware (if only I could turn back time) of Japanese director Noboru Iguchi’s Zombie Ass until the English-language trailer was brought to my attention. It’s insane, disgusting, Nsfw, horrifying, and insane. You think you know what you’re getting with a title like Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead, but you really have no idea. If you dare, hit the jump to watch the very Nsfw trailer for Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead. Trailer via Movies.com Here’s the synopsis for Zombie Ass: "We are going to flush you!

3 April 2012 6:48 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Horror fans have plenty to look forward to this Fall, thanks to the deeply creepy anthology The ABCs of Death. Taking a page from children's educational books, this collection of terror will offer 26 death-centered stories from 26 of modern horror's rising stars including Ti West (The House of the Devil), Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun), Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl), Srdjan Spasojevic (A Serbian Film), Nacho Vigalondo (Time Crimes), Ben Wheatley (Kill List), and Adam Wingard (V/H/S). Each chapter will offer a new lesson in death inspired by a letter of the alphabet, like "T is for Toilet," which is the contribution of Done in 60 Seconds. With Clay's Lee Hardcastle. This macabre sense of humor is fittingly mirrored in The ABCs of Death's new poster: This poster revealed by Entertainment Weekly was designed by Kaare Andrews, the comic book artist behind The Incredible Hulk and Ultimate X »

We’re back with the latest installment of our Indie Spotlight. Today’s feature includes a write-up and interview from Kristian Hanson’s visit to the Dead Inside premiere:
Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark Announced: The Asylum officially announced the third film in their Mega Shark series:
“The Asylum has officially greenlit production on Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark, a much anticipated third installment in the ‘Mega Shark’ franchise, following Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus in 2009 and Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus in 2010. When Mega Shark returns in this all-new feature film, the government releases the top-secret Mecha Shark to defeat the franchise’s popular monster in a fierce battle that threatens the planet.
‘The fan response to the Mega Shark franchise has been rabid,’ said The Asylum partner Paul Bales. ‘In addition to a very persuasive online petition, we found that Mega Shark has taken on a life of her own. »

2012 Boston Underground Film Festival: Official Lineup
21 March 2012 9:49 AM, PDT | Bad Lit | See recent Bad Lit news »
The 14th annual Boston Underground Film Festival is ready to kick ass and take names on March 29 to April 1 at the Brattle Theatre. And a few of those names will look familiar to Buff fanatics — and underground film fans the world over.
A trio of Buff favorites are returning to the fest with debut feature films after totally killing it with their amazing short films in the past. Jamie Heinrich‘s Happily Never After is a feature-length expansion of the short film that took home the Best of Fest Award in 2010, but with more solid and mature themes as the movie explores the problematic life of a degenerate photographer.
Another former award winner is Richard Bates Jr. who will be screening Excision, another feature-length extension of a short film, this one about a teenage girl who exercises her morbid obsession with surgery every chance she gets.

Talking Shit: Discussing Zombie Ass with director Noboru Iguchi & stars Arisa Nakamura & Demo Tanaka
8 March 2012 1:32 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Among the special programmes at this year's Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival was a celebration of the work of Noboru Iguchi, the director of such low budget splatter classics as The Machine Girl, Robogeisha and Zombie Ass, which enjoyed its Japanese premiere at the festival. Between the deranged all-night party, that saw Iguchi and his cronies take to the stage clothed only in traditional fundoshi undergarments for a never-ending parade of games, video clips and hilarious raconteuring, to preview screenings of his latest work and rarely seen oldies, the love for Iguchi at Yubari was palpable. Immediately following the home nation premiere of his latest masterpiece of blood, boobs and silliness - Zombie Ass - I sat down with the director, regular collaborator Demo Tanaka »
2012 Boston Underground Film Festival: First Titles Announced!
27 February 2012 7:30 AM, PST | Bad Lit | See recent Bad Lit news »
The 14th annual Boston Underground Film Festival has announced a few of the films they’ve already selected to screen on March 29 to April 1, including several regular Buff favorite filmmakers ready to make their spectacular return.
Most exciting is the feature film Happily Never After by Jamie Heinrich who, back in 2010, took home the Buff Best of Fest Short Award. However, this new feature is more dramatic in nature, telling the story of a lecherous photographer (Jason Carrougher) who attempts to connect with the son (Ryan Wichert) he never knew he had.
Watch the movie trailer for Happily Never After:
Also returning to Buff is Canadian filmmaker Steven Kostanski with his debut feature Manborg, a tribute to ’90s direct-to-video movies about a dead soldier turned into a cyborg killing machine designed to stop a demon invasion.
