Kensuke Sonomura's third film, Ghost Killer, is coming to digital on July 22nd followed by a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray & DVD on September 23rd from the folks at Well GO USA.
Three of the players in the hit action comedy franchise Baby Assassins came together for this one: Sonomura who handled stunts for those films, writer Yugo Sakamoto and one of its stars, Akari Takaishi. Watch the all-new trailer down below and you'll see Baby Assassins's DNA all over this movie. It's like a closely related, slightly cranky cousin who likes it darker.
Ghost Killer was one of my most favorite things I saw last year and it is good to see the festival that I help program is mentioned down below, as well.

Now possessed by a ruthless assassin’s rage and skills, she becomes an unstoppable force, hunting down those responsible for his death. As the body count rises, the line between Fumika and Kudo begins to blur.
