Rampo
Noir: Starring Ichi the Killer and Survive Style 5+
star Tadanobu Asano this film is now coming to Asian DVD from
Universe in China. This film is an anthology based on the masterpieces
of great Japanese mystery writer, Rampo Edogawa (a pseudonym
based on Edgar Allan Poe). These dark narratives, entitled Mar's
Canal, The Hell Of Mirrors, The Caterpillar and Insect, are
mysterious forays into grotesque and erotic fantasy worlds.
Kyonsi hopes this film will get a good US Distro deal. |

The
Boxer's Omen: Finally dammit and released on HK VCD
only. They should have done a DVD on this title what a bummer.
After years of looking for this It finally gets the official
release only to VCD. The horror of Thai black magic mixes with
the theme of vengeance in this story of Chen Hsiung (Kao Fei)
whose desire to avenge his brother's defeat at the hands of
boxer Pa Po (Y. Shih) leads him to a brush with the supernatural.
I sure as hell they would have had a brush with DVD, not VCD. |

Oh!
My Zombie Mermaid: One of the spook flicks at this
years New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF 2006) was Oh! My Zombie
Mermaid. Subway Cinema Said: Like a musical production
of Splash, mashed-up with Bruce Lee’s Game of Death, performed
by flamboyant fighters from the WWF, Oh! My Zombie Mermaid works
as an over-the-edge action film and an over-the-top send-up
of disease-of-the-week Lifetime movies. Stay tuned for DVD release
information when available. |

Zombie
Self-Defense Force: One platoon of Ground Self-Defense
Force, encounter zombies at the Fuji Tree Sea. They fight with
the zombie corps the ultimate zombie movie of rapid fire (or
something like that) The trailer looks like great fun. In the
trailer you can see some of the following Sword fighting, Military,
Evil Dead and Romero looking zombies, extreme firepower, decapitation,
green gas and a UFO? Huh What? We will keep you posted on the
films progress and review it eventually. |
