Okay, kiddies, are you ready for your so f*cking f*cked up it’s actually cool dish of the day? I hope so because I don’t have a whole lot much else to sling at ya! This one’s called SAMURAI ZOMBIE and it comes to us from Japan. However, I would hardly call this one “J-Horror”. I just watched the trailer about five minutes ago and am still having trouble coming up with a rational reaction. I guess you guys will just have to see for yourselves by visiting our video section below. Here’s a plot description to sort of help you out with some kind of idea on what you’re getting into:
The story follows a family on a trip that encounters a man threatening them with a gun on a desolate mountain trail. At a moment of maximum tension, a couple shows up out of nowhere, kills the man and disappears again, and shortly after a lunatic old lady comes and warns them of death. The frightened family is headed for a showdown for no reason with samurai zombies resurrected from their graves.
Yes, my friends, it’s like that. Yet for some reason, I enjoyed watching the trailer. Even though it’s in Japanese and there’s this weird opera-type music playing. You’ll find tons of gun play, some nice “squirty” violence, and one pissed off zombie samurai. Definitely check it out!
The flick was directed by Tak Sakaguchi and stars Yakkun Sakurazuka, Nana Natsume, Keiko Oginome, Issei Ishida, Mitsuru Fukikoshi, and Kyôsuke Yabe. It’s releasing in Japan early in 2009. I don’t have a f*cking clue when or if it’ll be reaching the States, but I’ll keep an eye out.
