Mutant Girls Squad (2010)
21 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 »

16 May 2012 8:43 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
A Planet Fury-approved selection of notable genre releases for May.
42nd Street Forever (2012) Blu-ray Available Now
225 minutes of pure awesome. Exploitation fans won’t want to miss Synapse Films' latest trailer compilation. This new release features theatrical trailers from the first two volumes with plenty of additional material. Enjoy classic horror, science fiction, action and exploitation coming attractions remastered in high definition. The 80+ titles include such grindhouse favorites as Dr. Butcher, MD, The Pom Pom Girls, Werewolves on Wheels, Savage Sisters, The Teacher, The Evictors and Chained Heat.
The Wizard of Gore/The Gore Gore Girls (1970/1972) Blu-ray Available Now
Something Weird’s Blu-ray release of Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Trilogy last year was a minor revelation. The Blood Feast print, presented in glorious high definition, was stunning in its gore-soaked clarity. All three films (including Two Thousand Maniacs and Color Me Blood Red) highlighted superior transfers, but Blood Feast was the standout. »

Yakuza Weapon: Blu-ray review
4 May 2012 2:15 PM, PDT | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
Director: Tak Sakaguchi. Review: Adam Wing. Teaming up with cult actor/director Tak Sakaguchi (Versus) for another deliriously demented offering, it would seem that Sushi Typhoon is back in business. Co-directed by Yudai Yamaguchi, and featuring action direction by Yuji Shimomura (Death Trance, Versus, Shinobi), with special makeup effects provided by Sushi Typhoon regular Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police, Helldriver), Yakuza Weapon is based on an adult comic created by Ken Ishikawa, who also had a hand in Cutie Honey. I think it’s safe to assume that we’re not entering period drama territory here. It’s the usual drill. High-octane action, human weaponry, CGI bloodlust and yakuza gangster fodder, brought to you in glorious high definition - I mean really, what’s not to like? You either love this kind of thing or you don’t, and I doubt very much Yakuza Weapon will do enough to change your opinion either way. »

The Reaper Gets Paternal In New Poster for ‘The ABC’s of Death’
2 April 2012 6:55 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
There are few things I like more than a good horror movie poster, and while it doesn’t wow me, the one for The ABC’s of Death at least has a sense of humor. EW revealed the one-sheet earlier today, and the design — created by comic book artist and filmmaker, Kaare Andrews — says it all with one simple image.
The macabre imagery is appropriate, considering that the film is an alphabetical anthology of 26 vignettes — directed by some of the top filmmakers currently working in the genre, no less. We reported on one of the shorts last November, the claymated T For Toilet by Lee Hardcastle, and the impressive list of featured directors includes Andrews, Ti West (House of the Devil, The Innkeepers), Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun), Ben Wheatley (Kill List), and Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police). Think of it as Paris, je t’aime, minus the blood and guts. »

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. »

Yakuza Hunters 1: DVD Review

Director: Kazushi Nakadaira. Review: Adam Wing. When it comes to movies starring Asami (Gothic & Lolita Psycho, The Machine Girl), should we really be worrying about specifics? Everything we need to know is laid out for us in the opening credits sequence. A young girl pulls herself from an early grave, badly beaten and chained to a wooden cross. She’s tired and weary, delirious and deadly - not to mention pretty much naked. We watch her cross the deserted landscape to the beats of a funky, retro soundtrack, still for all intents and purposes, pretty much naked. Welcome to the wonderful world of Yakuza Hunters, the first of two films directed by Kazushi Nakadaira and Shin’ichi Okuda respectively. Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police) takes charge of the special effects and make up, with VFX supervision provided by Tsuyoshi Kazuno (The Machine Girl).

David L Tamarin, General Counselor of Harbinger, attended the shoot and expressed his concern that the material might be too strong for mass consumption saying "The film is about evil that is absolutely real.
