This week Christina RETURNS from her vacation, it's our 300th episode and of course Alex will drag Christina through hell with 2 movies from Japan about hell. That's right we review Jigoku (1960) from Director Nobuo Nakagawa. About a group of sinners involved in a very intricate story about Murder, Revenge, Deceit and Adultery that ends up in LITERAL Hell. Then we review Japanese Hell (1999) which is essentially a reboot of the original movie, but with a completely different story. One about a girl who is taken into a cult and all the sins that they commit on people. Which of course ends up in literal HELL too. Both movies are pretty wild and have some pretty cool practical FX that we discuss in depth. JOIN us as we cross the River Sanzu and get our sin on.
We return with Eric Myford as Guest to talk about 3 Obscure Japanese Horror Shorts that are about an hour long each. These are ones that some didn't even make it past VHS. Yes, and most can be watched free on YOUTUBE! However one of them has no subs... First we kick it off with CYCLOPS (1987) about a bunch of mutants living in todays world that are getting gathered up for some nefarious purposes and it all ends in a pretty gross way. Then CONTON (1987) Another splatter fest that is rather homemade about a boy who's going to college and dreams of monsters. His real life starts crossing over into the dream world for a fantastic finish. Then we review THE BOY FROM HELL (2004) From Hideshi Hino's Theater of Horror set of shorts. It's about a boy who dies too early and his mother wants him back so bad she does a ritual to bring him back as a blood thirsty mutant hungry for people. It's a jam packed obscure episode that was a blast. JOIN US!
For this week and next we have a special Guest Eric Myford on to talk horror! Author and poet currently residing in Tucson, AZ. Ever since he was a child, Eric has had an obsession with horror. He's written poetry, review books, human cook books, written on our website and now working on movies! So.. it's about time we had him on. He decided to watch some Hong Kong Category 3 horror movies this week and Alex is all about it! In fact they both love obscure weird and over the line horror. So this week we review The Seventh Curse (1986) about a couple of Indiana Jones types that hunt down a wizard with a flesh eating baby demon and a ancient evil skeleton that turns into a monster. Then The Untold Story (1993) Which is based on the real true crime of "The Eight Immortals Restaurant" only this movie takes the liberty of the killer putting people into his Pork Bun recipe! WHAT?! Yep. It's all here this week. JOIN US!
