I love oriental cinema and so I just bought this Blu-ray based purely on its reputation of being something special. As I'm a big b-movie fan and I collect low budget movies I just had to add this one to my collection.
I don't want to go into any spoilers, but if you think this is going to be your ordinary typical b movie zombie fest, we'll think again.
This one is truly unique and I was not expecting this at all. The first one take 37 minutes story is absolutely fun, engaging and utterly fascinating, particularly in the way it presents the more gory scenes, like an extreme live action of a looney toon cartoon.
Then... well...then you need to keep watching after the end credits, because the story gets really ...unexpected. The pace stalls a bit because we are not exactly sure of what we are watching, but the last 30 minutes totally make up for any slight flaws.
This movie has a great ending and it's one of the most positive movies you will see. It will make you want to move to Japan and join the crew that made it. The last thing I was expecting was to get such a happy vibe on a zombie movie but this is an incredible feel good movie.
I totally recommend you get the new uk Blu-ray edition, which includes not only a ton of amazing extras and really good making of documentaries for real, but also includes the one take 30 minute zombie movie seen being shot entirely from behind the camera. And there's also a great interview with director among a lot more stuff that will make you wonder that to make a truly original movie you don't need to spend more than $25k.
And to top everything , the uk Blu-ray called The Hollywood edition also includes Cut of the dead in Hollywood, which is the movie sequel and it's as fun an cool as the first movie.
So go check it out, but don't expect this to be an Hollywood type movie. Don't expect anything else but one of the most unique and original movies you will be watching in a very long time.
If you love b movies don't even hesitate.
Fun, charming and fascinating.
