Shooting began way back in 1995 on director Shinichi Fukazawa‘s Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell (aka The Japanese Evil Dead), but it wasn’t until over 10 years later that the low-budget 8mm splatter film was actually finished. Courtesy of Wild Eye Releasing, we’ve learned this week that the film is now finally being released in North America.
In the film, which has never before been released in the U.S., a body builder trapped inside a haunted house must save himself from a ghost hell-bent on revenge.
“After a surprise phone call interrupts his daily workout, beefy body builder Shinji agrees to meet his photojournalist ex-girlfriend to help with her research on haunted houses. Accompanied by a professional psychic, they visit an abandoned house once owned by Shinji’s father. But inside the house a dark secret lingers and they find themselves trapped and tormented by a relentless ghost with a 30 year grudge.”
Wild Eye will announce the digital and physical release dates shortly.
Today we’re exclusively debuting the official trailer and poster art, both of which make it clear that this is indeed a Japanese take on Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead. Find the goods below!
