You guys ever hear of a Japanese genre flick called COLD FISH? Don’t worry if you haven’t, that’s what I’m here for!
COLD FISH is coming our way from talented director Sion Sono and apparently it’s a pretty twisted flick. Now unfortunately we don’t have much to go one here but what we do have is a detailed synopsis and a brand new quad poster to celebrate the film’s UK theatrical release. Scroll on down below for a full look at the quad and scope out the synopsis:
Shamoto runs a small tropical fish shop. His second wife, Taeko, doesn’t get along with his daughter Mitsuko, and this worries him. One day Mitsuko is caught shoplifting at a grocery store. There they meet a friendly man named Murata, who helps to settle things between Mitsuko and the store manager. Since Murata also runs a tropical fish shop, Shamoto establishes a bond with him and they become friends; Mitsuko even begins working for Murata and living at his house. What Shamoto doesn’t know, however, is that Murata hides many dark secrets behind his friendly face. He sells cheap fish to his customers for high prices with his artful lies. If anyone detects his fraud or refuses to go along with his money-making schemes, they’re murdered and their bodies disposed of by Murata and his wife in grisly ways. Shamoto is suddenly taken in by Murata’s tactics, and by the time he realizes that Murata is insane, and a serial killer who has made over fifty people disappear, he is powerless to do anything about it. But now Mitsuko is a hostage at Murata’s home, and Shamoto himself has become the killer’s unwilling accomplice. Cruel murders gradually cripple his mind and finally the ordinary man being driven to the edge of the abyss.
Sounds pretty twisted right? COLD FISH hits UK theaters on April 8th followed by a DVD release in July. No telling when this one will hit the US but you can bet as soon as we find out we’ll pass the good word along to all of you!
