Product Information

Alternately known as "The Japanese Evil Dead," this legendary, sought after independent Japanese cult film will enjoy its first ever North American release in any format and features new bonus content. Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell is one that fans of SOV and WTF films as well as Deadites should enjoy.

He even plays into it at one point, Naoto throws an attacking hand across the room only for it to bounce back like a ball and hit him in the head.The film is not just a perfect homage to the series it is indebted to – it manages to take the blueprint that was laid out for it and take horror-comedy to new heights. Only, as the prologue reveals, Naoto’s dad had murdered his lover there 30 years earlier in the early ’70s, and buried her corpse beneath the floorboards.

They invade like a viral infection via technology, plunging the globe into hopeless despair and death. What will confuse people (if they are looking for anything to make sense that is) is what does bodybuilding have to do with it? What it does feel like though is Shinichi Fukazawa’s love letter to what Evil Dead was – and the impact it made in Japan. While the narrative bides its time unveiling the truth behind Jane Doe’s battered body, it’s heavily steeped in witchcraft.

Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead films have obviously had just a slight cultural impact on the world of horror creating a tectonic plate level of shifting in the realm of horror films spawning an abundance of copycats, rip offs, cash grabs, and homages. The references to the former 80s video nasty can’t be ignored though this film can’t really compete with the original Sam Raimi classic. The isolated setting, the atmosphere, and the endless barrage of frights make this a perfect spooky watch for the weekend.
