The Ghost of Yotsuya is required viewing material for anyone who loves horror films. It tells a legendary eerie tale of betrayal, murder, and ghostly revenge! It’s one of the most famous Japanese ghosts stories of all time and was a huge influence on the Japanese horror films that we see today.
The story is based on the 1825 play Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan, which was written by Tsuruya Nanboku IV. The basic premise of the story follows a woman who haunts her husband after she dies a miserable death.
A ruthless samurai named Iemon Tamiya wants to marry a woman named Iwa, but after her father refuses, “Iemon kills him and disposes of the body with assistance of Naosuke. Later, tiring of his wife and wishing to marry the heiress Ume Itō, Iemon plots to murder his wife by mixing a poison into her tea and also killing her admirer Takuetsu.

Next Tuesday, Takashi Miike's Over Your Dead Body and the macabre martial arts double feature The House Where Evil Dwells / Ghost Warrior will come out on respective Blu-rays from Scream Factory. Ahead of their January 5th debuts, we have high-definition clips and trailers from the films.
Over Your Dead Body Blu-ray: "A beautiful actress (Kô Shibasaki of 47 Ronin and Battle Royale) plays the protagonist in a new play based on a legendary ghost story. She pulls some strings to get her lover cast in the play, although he's a relatively unknown actor. With the cast in place, rehearsals for the play, about an abusive relationship and a grudge, begin. But off stage, some begin to develop their own obsessions. Trapped between the play and reality, they are horrified to find that a real grudge can cross the blurred line between reality and fantasy. Will love flourish? Or has it already turned hideously dark?...

The August bank holiday weekend in London is always cause for celebration for horror fans as the FrightFest horror and genre film festival rolls into the city’s Leicester Square for four days of blood-spattered cinematic mayhem. This year saw the arrival of horror icon and star of Re-Animator and You’re Next, Barbara Crampton, as the Guest of Honour who starred in no less than five of the entries this year including festival favourite We Are Still Here. As always with film festivals it was a real mixed bag, with very few scares but a lot of laughs (some intentional, other not so much) as the filmmakers, many of them horror fans themselves, had a lot of fun playing with the tropes and clichés of the genre while others tried to put fresh new spins on some well-worn material. Here are a few of the highlights:

Time to fess up: I don’t know all that much about Japanese folklore. Knowing the source material for an artwork that leans heavily on popular cultural institutions isn’t a requirement when viewing said art, mind. I was hardly aware of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter before seeing The Tale of the Princess Kaguya earlier this year but still managed to be transfixed by the beauty and sweet melancholy of that particular story all the same – though I am sure extra nuggets of meaning could be sifted from that film were I to read up on its origins.

Two updates from Scream Factory. We'll talk about the new acquisition first... The company has picked up Takashi Miike's Over Your Dead Body for a 2015 release. The film made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this year.
From that fest's program: A star, Miyuki Goto (Ko Shibasaki) plays Oiwa, the protagonist in a new play based on the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan.
The post Scream Factory Reveals Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh Specs, Takes Miike’s Over Your Dead Body appeared first on Shock Till You Drop.

Prolific director Takashi Miike has helmed an abundance of eclectic big screen stories over the years, memorably taking viewers on graphic killing quests in Ichi the Killer and 13 Assassins. Miike also made an indelible mark on the horror genre with 1999’s Audition, and he looks to scare audiences again with his new film, Over Your Dead Body, recently acquired by Shout! Factory for a 2015 release.
Earlier today it was revealed that Shout! Factory! acquired the North American rights to Miike’s new horror film, which made its international premiere at Tiff in September. Shout! Factory plans to release Over Your Dead Body on home media through its Scream Factory label sometime next year.
Synopsis via Tiff: “A star, Miyuki Goto (Ko Shibasaki) plays Oiwa, the protagonist in a new play based on the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan. She pulls some strings to get her lover, Kosuke Hasegawa (Ebizo Ichikawa) cast in the play,...

While Over Your Dead Body conceptually represents everything that has made Takashi Miike one of the most exciting genre directors of the decade, its execution lacks the same infectious essence that turned films like Ichi The Killer and Audition into Japsploitation cult classics. Writer Kikumi Yamagishi blurs the realms of fantasy and reality together into a sinister tale of life imitating art, but as Miike blends the stories into one hazy fever-dream, the allure of deception morphs into cerebral confusion and questions galore. While the film comes with vested intrigue, the punchy metaphysical nature of Over Your Dead Body becomes a marginally incoherent exercise in romantic depravity. Miike weaves a tragically gory love story, but the novelty of parallel storytelling wears thin as Yamagishi’s plot becomes more contrived and convoluted with every mysterious scene, right until the curtain falls on another ultra-violent Takashi Miike head-scratcher.

It’s always exciting when Takashi Miike releases a new movie — something that happens approximately 19 times per year. The guy is a workhorse who steps up to the plate often and strikes out a lot, but when he connects the impact sends you flying past the parking lot. Unfortunately, Over Your Dead Body isn’t one of the home runs. Leaving aside the quality shifts of quick turnaround, everyone essentially knows that there are two Miikes (and a third who makes children’s movies): gonzo horror Miike who made shockers like Audition, Ichi the Killer and Visitor Q (got milk?), and polished prestige Miike who made 13 Assassins and Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai. They’ve advised one another on projects before, but this is the first genuine collaboration between the co-directors, and they’ve chosen to take on one of Japan’s most famous ghost stories. Written in the early 19th century, “Yotsuya Kaidan...

Over Your Dead Body is Miike’s version of Yotsuya Kaidan. This alone is enough to warrant anyone with a passing interest in the fantastic to see it.
This is a special one. I cannot for the death of me talk about how the story develops because it's as complex as a ball of yarn left unattended in a room full of kittens, and I was in such awe at the flawless execution during the entire movie that I didn't pay much attention to what was happening anyway. Consider seeing this one not as movie but as a masterclass on cinema.
First there is an incredible narrative recursion: there is the play as a physical object, then the people rehearsing the play, then the people watching the people rehearsing the play, all this amounting beyond the fourth wall to the audience in the theatre [Continued ...]...

As per usual, Takashi Miike is releasing a handful of movies this year. We recently caught The Mole Song – Undercover Agent Reiji at the Fantasia Film Festival, and now the prolific filmmaker has another new release for us to see.
Originally produced in 1825 as a kabuki play, Yotsuya Kaidan is arguably the most famous Japanese ghost story of all time, and has been adapted for film over 30 times since. It continues to be a major influence on Japanese horror and now Miike is taking a shot in telling the tale of betrayal, murder and ghostly revenge.
Over Your Dead Body will screen at the Toronto International Film Festival, making its International Premiere in the Vanguard Section. Judging by the brief trailer, Miike, a veteran theatre director, mounts the action on a number of dazzlingly elaborate sets. Here’s the synopsis:
A star, Miyuki Goto (Ko Shibasaki) plays Oiwa, the protagonist...

Playing as part of the Toronto International Film Festival's Vanguard programme is the latest flick from legendary Japanese director Takashi Miike, entitled Over Your Dead Body. We have every pixel of the flick's trailer right here for your perusal. Dig it!
Over Your Dead Body - Takashi Miike, Japan - International Premiere
A star, Miyuki Goto (Ko Shibasaki), plays Oiwa, the protagonist in a new play based on the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan.
She pulls some strings to get her lover, Kosuke Hasegawa (Ebizo Ichikawa), cast in the play even though he's a relatively unknown actor. Other performers Rio Asahina (Miho Nakanishi) and Jun Suzuki (Hideaki Ito) lust after Miyuki. Off stage the cast's possessive love and obsessions exist as reality. Trapped between the play and reality, the cast's feelings for each other are amplified.

Earlier today we brought you the full lineup of Tiff 2014's Midnight Madness programme, and we're back with the 11 films that comprise the fest's Vanguard lineup, which includes Alleluia, Shrew's Next, Spring, and the latest from Takashi Miike.
A few of the films on this list don't fall in the pure horror category, but we've included them as well just because they sound so damn intriguing!
From the Press Release:
The Toronto International Film Festival's Vanguard programme seduces audiences with a sensory experience full of mystery and boundary-busting madness with bold international films that walk the razor’s edge. International programmer Colin Geddes brings together the work of some of the most audacious auteurs in the world to present a cinematic adventure that takes audiences to the dark, dangerous places that both unnerve yet intrigue them.

While a certain “freshness” might be lacking in the Midnight Madness programme, the Vanguard section (and Wavelengths to be unveiled next month) is where there might be more cerebral bang for the buck and programmer Colin Geddes has a nice canvas to paint on with the bunch announced below. Running down the list we find a must see in the Cannes sensation Alleluia (Fabrice Du Welz), which had the entire Ioncinema team in awestruck mode, and then we have Berberian Sound Studio‘s Peter Strickland breaking out the world premiere for The Duke of Burgundy (see pic above). After penning several Ulrich Seidl items over the years (Import/Export, Paradise Trilogy), Veronika Franz might outclass The Shining for most creepiest young child twin set with Severin Fiala for the Venice Film Fest selected Goodnight Mommy. Takashi Miike is naturally invited back to the fest with his latest, and Spring, which...

Another year, another handful of Takashi Miike movies to track down. This month, we caught his wild "The Mole Song – Undercover Agent Reiji" at the Fantasia Film Festival (review here), and now the filmmaker is ready to drop another movie at another fest.

After a lengthy foray into more mainstream fare, Japan's premiere cinematic bad boy is back into the horror genre where he made his name in a big way. Yes, Miike Takashi has laid on more of the red stuff with his recent work than he has in several years and all signs are the blood will not abate any time soon.Up next on Japanese screens from Miike is Over Your Dead Body (Kuime), a loose adaptation of classic ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan. And following on a previous teaser back in April a full trailer has now arrived. Here's how Eigapedia translates the synopsis:An actor named Kosuke plays the role of Iemon in a stage version of Yotsuya Kaiden and his new lover Miyuki plays Oiwa....

It's about time for another dose of Miike Takashi madness! Japan's bad-boy helmer returns with Over Your Dead Body (喰女-クイメ-), a theatrical twist on Tsuruya Nanboku IV's Yotsuya Kaidan, a now legendary Japanese ghost tale that blends murder, betrayal, and revenge in a most ghastly manner. Originally a triumphant kabuki play, Yotsuya Kaidan has had (there are over 30 film adaptations) and still has an enormous influence on Japanese horror genre.On the border between reality and fiction, Over Your Dead Body revolves around a pair of actors-sweethearts (Shibasaki Kou and Ichikawa Ebizo) playing main parts in the aforementioned famed stage play. Soon their love is going to be violently tested and, as the moody and bizarre teaser trailer suggests, things are about to turn ugly and deadly....

Though Miike Takashi's remake of Hara-Kiri failed to set critics or fan afire - though it is not without its fans - the director is clearly a fan of that film's leading man, kabuki star Ichikawa Ebizo as it has just been announced that the pair will reunite for a new adaptation of classic kabuki ghost tale Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan under the new title Shin-Yotsuya Kaidan.Very few other details have been announced to this point beyond the hope of backers Toei to premiere the film in Cannes 2014 and that this new version will feature a play within a play with Ichikawa playing dual characters - one in the period (presumably within the play) setting and another in current times....

Criterion tried playing a fast one this week by releasing all the new films while we were recording our super two year anniversary special. Sneaky Criterion, how could you do such a thing? But lo and behold they gave us another 11 titles, which again just goes to show that Criterion/Janus have multiple tricks up their sleeves. Especially this week, they gave us a couple of catalog titles and the rest are new and exciting, especially one that is the original edit of a particular film that was put on the page last week. Once again, if you want to join what a million other people are enjoying right now, please sign up here. It will help the series of articles and you’ll get to experience the best bang for the buck.
