Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Yoshihiro Nishimura's cameo continues his tradition of appearing in every film he designs effects for, usually as something unrecognizably grotesque.
The film deliberately channels 1980s-90s Japanese direct-to-video 'V-Cinema' — yakuza meets horror hybrids that influenced modern directors like Sion Sono.
