Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell (AKA The Japanese Evil Dead)

Product Information

Shinji is a bodybuilder, so the title got that bit right. Unbeknownst to Shinji, his weirdly identical father killed his possessive and murderous girlfriend before Shinji was born, hastily burying her body in the house where the killing happened. Now, in the present day, Shinji has inherited this house, knowing nothing of its dark history. Announced this week, the home video label Wild Eye Releasing is branching out with a brand new sister label titled Visual Vengeance, a collector’s Blu-ray label dedicated to vintage, sometimes overlooked micro budget genre independents from the 1980s though 2000s.

Although BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER IN HELL is mostly inspired by THE EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD 2, I think Shinji’s exaggeratedly macho attitude in the finale tells us that they’d seen ARMY OF DARKNESS by this point, and heard the line “Gimme some sugar, baby.” It also shows that they were starting to get the hang of the camera and the lighting, because they have some pretty good shots, possibly inspired by the one where Ash opens the door to the shed. When the movie opens, a man uses a shovel to decapitate and then dispose of the body of his demonically possessed lady friend, hiding her corpse under the floorboards of a simple home. From here, we meet a bodybuilder named Naoto (Fukazawa) who we learn lost his parents at a young age. He gets a phone call, during his workout no less, from his former flame Mika (Masaaki Kai), hoping that he’ll let bygones be bygones and help her conduct some journalism work she needs to do inside a house that is reportedly haunted. He’s not quite over her and he agrees, and before too long the two meet up with a psychic (Asako Nosaka) and get to work inside the house that we, of course, recognize from the opening scene. A decade later, Shun’ya Itô’s Curse of the Dog God (1977) similarly evokes the Deadites that would torment Bruce Campbell and company only a few years later. Ito’s best known for his Meiko Kaji-led exploitation series Female Prisoner Scorpion, and Curse marries those films’ painterly imagery with merciless folk horror. Much of the film is a sprawling convoluted saga of wrathful spirits, accursed fates, dog maulings, at least one flying canine head, exorcism rituals, dark village secrets, uranium mining, and even a roving biker gang for good measure, but the final act is when any Evil Dead fan might start to get a dash of deja vu.BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER IN HELL (1995) is a movie I watched partly because it was described as “the Japanese EVIL DEAD” and partly because it was called BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER FROM HELL. It’s a short, very low budget movie that does indeed pay tribute to the early works of Sam Raimi. I like seeing his influence reach across oceans and cultures like that. For the most part, though, the actors don’t seem to be winking at all, which I appreciate. This includes when their fights with the undead involve repeated punching in the face with exaggerated sound effects. In a prologue, a woman catches a guy named Naoto cheating and tries to stab him, so he kills her and buries her under the house. Years later, the house is rumored to be haunted. The man’s son Shinji, who is introduced lifting weights with a Muscle & Fitness magazine nearby, has inherited the house, and agrees to bring his ex-girlfriend Mika there, because she writes about hauntings for a living. They bring along an uptight psychic named Mizoguchi for his expertise (though Shinji thinks he’s full of shit). The arduous odyssey to completion would be challenging for a production of any size, but Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell‘s hurdles were compounded by the fact that it was practically a one-man crew; Shinichi Fukazawa serves as writer, director, producer, editor, special effects artist, and star. Upon learning that his father was planning to demolish his old house in Tokyo, the budding filmmaker opted to utilize the location for his 8mm love letter to the Evil Dead trilogy. Watch the clip below that sees a very pregnant Pat ( Courtney Cox) dream of physically unleashing her frustrations with her children after receiving a slap from mom ( Judith Light). Pat also happens to be channeling her inner Rosemary Woodhouse with her new look.

Season two of horror-comedy series “Shining Vale” is rapidly drawing to an end, with the penultimate episode, “Coven,” arriving this week. Ahead of the new episode, Bloody Disgusting can share an exclusive clip that teases maternal violence. Inspired by the Evil Dead films, Shinichi Fukazawa started writing Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder In Hell on New Year’s Day in 1995. Beginning production soon after, Shinichi shot 10 hours of footage over the next 10 years using 8mm film. Editing of the film started in 2005. But due to several issues in post-production, it took another 4 years before the film was finally completed in 2009. Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell parallels Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead to an uncanny degree, not only in terms of images and gross practical effects but also through its drawn-out and troubled production history. The Japanese Evil Dead was an incredibly low-budget production, like Sam Raimi's original The Evil Dead, and almost entirely crewed by a single man: director, writer, star, and editor Shinichi Fukazawa. The film began production in 1994, but editing was not wholly completed until 2010. It then took an additional 12 years to see a release in the US, where it is now available on Shudder and Tubi. This is The Evil Dead (a low budget film itself) on a budget, with some of the J-horror elements thrown in to incorporate the unique Asian feel.Shining Vale” is executive produced by Jeff Astrof from Other Shoe Productions, Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford (“Motherland,” “This Way Up,”) from Merman, Aaron Kaplan (“The Chi,” “The Neighborhood”) from Kapital Entertainment. Courteney Cox also serves as a producer. The series is co-created by Astrof and Horgan. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Lionsgate Television in association with Other Shoe Productions, Merman and Kapital Entertainment.

The all-new bonus content for Five Nights at Freddy’s gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the iconic animatronics and recreating the immersive world of the game. But this house harbors a dark, blood-soaked secret. Once inside, they will discover hell, as they find themselves tormented by a relentless ghost with a 30-year grudge. In my review of EVIL DEAD 2 I went into detail about the greatness and influence of the montage where Ash builds his chainsaw hand. Not surprisingly, BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER IN HELL has a scene aping that style. It’s a little less impressive, though, because all he does is load a shotgun! It still ends with the zoom in on his face, and he says the famous line. To the monster that was once Mizoguchi, Shinji says “See you in Hell, baby” and shoots it, splashing its blood onto both his and Mika’s faces. Emmanuel Kervyn’s French-Belgian Troma terror Rabid Grannies (1988) and Charles Philip Moore’s Demon Wind (1990) both similarly indulge in taunting possessed villainy. While Wind’s terrors hew close to Raimi’s ghouls, Kervyn’s film freshened up the demon template by turning a birthday dinner party into an absurd feast from hell hosted by its geriatric flesheaters. Chomping off heads, toying with these food, and lashing out with insults galore, actors Danielle Daven and Anne-Marie Fox wholly commit to their Satanic romp in a film that combines the bloody chaos of Evil Dead and Demons with the satisfaction of a greedy family’s comeuppance.

Rate And Review

FIVE NIGHTS in Three Dimensions– FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S takes a two-dimensional game and turns it into a three-dimensional nightmare. I took it as an incredibly charming bit of fan art, and a really impressive outing for what’s basically a one-man production – I think it’s fair to say these guys had less resources than Raimi and co. did for ED1, but also… well, the director isn’t a Raimi level visionary. no disrespect, there’s only one of those. Apparently, Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell spent years languishing in distribution limbo before finally reaching an international audience over 25 years on. It makes me wonder how many other deranged masterpieces there are sitting on virtual shelves around the world, awaiting similar rediscovery. Verdict Made over a period of more than a decade by writer, director and star Shinichi Fukazawa, 1995’s Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder In Hell is unofficially known as ‘The Japanese Evil Dead’ and for good reason, as Fukazawa’s sixty-three minute no-budget epic definitely does wear its influences very plainly on its gooey, gory sleeve.
