Family going on a trip in a country accidentally run over a man dressed in white standing in the road pointing a gun at them. When they stop to help him he gets up and tries to shoot the group he is shot by a man in black standing behind him. The man in black with his girlfriend then force the family to drive them away. They end up in a weird area that appears to be rural but turns the car's GPS and all the cell phones red. They are in some unknown area. What transpires from this point is extremely bloody and gory and graphically violent as a long dead samurai is resurrected and begins to chop everyone up.
This is a twisted horror comedy from the director of Be a Man Samurai School . Like that earlier film this is big on style and more than a tad messy on the plotting. Things seem to happen in order to get us to the next blood soaked thing, with the whys and wherefores being less than truly logical. Then again one doesn't really look for logic in Japanese gore films, one looks for blood and body parts and in that regard the film scores big. The blood spurting mayhem is very well done. The real problem with the film is the pacing. Its deadly slow. Its actually probably the slowest film like this I've seen. Its not that the gore sequences are dragged out it's the sequences where the plot is advanced that drag on and on. They are dull and boring and seem never to end. Perhaps it's the lack of real characters, perhaps its something else. What ever it is its dull. I started to nod off and had to fight to make to the end.
This film is a bust
