You never know what kind of obscure idea director Iguchi Noboru is going to plan on filming next, but fans of the genre know that it?s always going to be a fun ride.
Iguchi?s latest splatter action comedy ?Dead Sushi? also already gained international recognition and screened at the Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas ? the largest genre film festival in the USA. Starring actress and karateka Takeda Rina was even awarded with the award for Best Comedy Actress at the festival.
In ?Dead Sushi?, the worldwide famous dish develops fangs and a murderous instinct, thanks to a researcher with a desire for revenge. Takeda plays the clumsy and hot-blooded daughter of a famous sushi chef who works at a rural inn and always gets bullied by her colleagues. However, once the man-eating sushi are set free, the few survivors depend on her bad-ass fighting skills to lead them to safety. She gets help by a former sushi chef played by singer Matsuzaki Shigeru.
Of course Takeda did all of the fighting scenes herself and commented, ?I?m already happy to be even invited to such a wonderful film festival, but I never thought that I would even receive an award. Hearing so many people in foreign countries laugh while watching this movie made me like it even more. I hope I?ll also be able to hear the laughter of the people in Japan soon.?
In Japan the movie is going to open to the public as the second movie to screen during the ?late roadshow? at the long-standing movie theater Shinjuku Musashinokan on New Year?s Day. On YouTube the trailer for this movie already surpassed 1 million views.
Prior to making its world premiere at the Fantastic Fest, it already made its Asian premiere at the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival in Bucheon, South Korea earlier this year. Moreover the movie already received offers from over 20 other film festivals around the world.
