Back on April Fool’s day we gave y’all a look at a German trailer Takashi Shimizu’s J-horror outing SHOCK LABYRINTH 3D. Now that a good seven weeks has elapsed, it appears a new international one-sheet and a handful of stills from the flick have been unleashed. You know where to find them shites!
Written by Daisuke Hosaka, SHOCK LABYRINTH 3D boasts a simple premise: A group of teenagers take a sick to a hospital only to find out it is a horrific labyrinth. Of course, given Shimizu’s flare for off-the-wall visuals and penchant for the outlandish, that description is no doubt as understated as one gets.
Here’s a better one:
One rainy night, Yuki, a girl missing for 10 years, mysteriously appears. Her friends, Ken, Motoki, Rin, and sister Miyu are confused by her sudden return and uneasily welcome her home. Later that same night, Yuki suddenly faints and is rushed by her loyal friends to the hospital. But the hospital they arrive at turns out to be a decayed and terrifying place…a labyrinth. Trapped within the labyrinth, the horror truly begins for the young friends.
Nice. Gotta love a trippy, gore-filled maze effort. You diggin’ it?
The flick stars Yuya Yagira, Ai Maeda, Suzuki Matsuo, Shoichiro Masumoto, Ryo Katsuji, Misako Renbutso and Erina Mizuno.
