Continuing exactly where he left off with “Unscripted Life” to the point that “Overnight Walk” looks some sort of sequel, Teppei Isobe expands on the comments he made in the 2018 short, while adding a number of additional ones and a road trip element.

Using another dinner a restaurant as its basis, Isobe introduces us to a theater crew, where the main topic is about nudity in a play, with one actress having already done it, one being completely negative about it, and one of the protagonists, Sakura, pondering whether she should do it. The fact that she is 27-years-old and her career has not picked up at all, weighs heavily, but the decision is still tormenting her. In the meantime, her boyfriend receives an unexpected visit from her older sister, Yuriko, who has come to Tokyo to see her sister, with the man embarrassing...

Winner of Best Picture in the Japanese Short Category in Skip City International D-cinema Festival, as well as in Fukuoka Independent, “Unscripted Life” (aka “Who Knows about my Life”) is a very Japanese short which manages to portray a number of aspects of the life of women in the country in the most amusing way.

The story begins inside a restaurant, where the employees of a company are having dinner with their boss, Mr Sado, who is, however, quite drunk, and quite handsy with one of the female employees, who tries to remain polite while avoiding his “flirting”. Another employee, Junko, gets out of the bathroom only for him to ask her to sleep in her place since the time has passed and there are no trains to take. Her reaction is quite surprising, as she starts running away in all speed a bit later,...

Chicago – “The ABCs of Death” may easily rank as the most repugnant two hours I’ve ever had the displeasure of being condemned to review. But don’t let that entice you, gorehounds. It’s also uninspired and thoroughly monotonous. The only thing that scared me was my realization after the first short film had ended that I still had 25 films left to go. This isn’t entertainment. It’s an endurance test.
Consider the vignette about an obese woman who decides, in a fit of depression, to slice off her fat. Her self-mutilation is juxtaposed with footage of a skinny model striking poses in a commercial. The director, Xavier Gens, cuts back and forth between the imagery with such mechanical repetition that the viewer develops a mixture of nauseation and whiplash but not, alas, fear. What a sad encapsulation of modern horror’s exceedingly sorry state. Horror used to be about atmosphere,...

We’d previously shared news that Yuji Shimomura was choreographing a totally awesome short film titled Yassy. The trailer looked looked promising and the actual short doesn’t disappoint. It stars Hiroko Yashiki, who I remember from Suicide Club but who has also appeared in Shinobi: Heart Under Blade and The Machine Girl (review).
There aren't a whole lot of effects here but but damn does it kick butt.
Check out the entire film (in two parts) after the break.
