Madness! Madness, I say! I caught Shinya Hashimoto star vehicle - Hashimoto was a hugely popular Japanese wrestler who died suddenly in 2005 - Oh! My Zombie Mermaid! at the New York Asian Film Festival back in 2006 and while I absolutely loved the thing I never thought any DVD distributor would ever have the stones to buy and release a film as utterly bizarre as this one is. Well, it took a few years, but I was wrong and Discotek Media will be releasing the film via their Eastern Star sub-label later this summer. Details!
Region 1, NTSC, 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen. Japanese audio with English subtitles. Features include:
* Making-of
* Interviews
* Sonin's Stunt Training
* Special Announcement
* Commercial
* Stills Gallery
* Trailers
This is one of the stranger films ever to come out of Japan - home to a great many very strange films - and I won't even attempt to summarize it here. Instead I'll point you to my review at the link below and the trailer below the break.
