About this deal

Written, directed by, and starring Shinichi Fukazawa, this movie is an homage/spoof of Evil Dead, but also brings it's own dose of originality, and Fukazawa pulls it off with a cast of only 3 people. If there’s one thing horror fans love the most, it’s a solid scare that gets the adrenaline pumping. Written and directed by Stephen Cognetti, this faux-documentary style horror movie brings tons of thrills and chills. The horror is intrinsic to a family coping with grief and loss, but it’s heightened to a horrifying degree thanks to Bertino’s distinct style and twisted vision of evil.

That’s probably why Wild Eye chose it as the first release from Visual Vengeance, an imprint devoted to obscure SOV films. Ich ziehe an dieser Stelle zwar meinen Hut vor Shinichi Fukazawa's Ehrgeiz, Durchhaltevermögen und Ambition seinen ersten eigenen Horrorfilm zu drehen und sich somit einen Jugendtraum zu erfüllen, doch all die investierten Jahre mit Änderungen in der Inszenierung, Post-Production usw. Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell" ist im Mediabook bei Midori Impuls erschienen und beinhaltet den Film uncut auf DVD. There are some genuine laughs to be had, such as Naoto’s realization “The shotgun isn’t my weapon, my muscles are! An unexplained accident on their first night in business results in 15 attendees and staff members’ tragic deaths.

The film - an ultra low budget Japanese Evil Dead rip off - is actually about as clunky as the title. Although no one does it quite like Raimi, Fukazawa admirably attempts to emulate his kinetic ingenuity. Little White Lies was established in 2005 as a bi-monthly print magazine committed to championing great movies and the talented people who make them. Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell’s backstory involves the spirit of a woman killed in the house by Naoto’s father and waiting all these years for revenge, but it’s just an excuse to have characters become possessed and stage some outrageous gore gags. 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.

That changes when they open up the doors to supernatural torment when a distracted Jane accidentally runs a woman over while driving home from a friend’s wedding. Gory, campy, atmospheric, and funny, the film is nonstop excitement because it runs only a few minutes over an hour. The print itself looks good, although given the film’s Super8 origins it’s still going to be grainy, which is as it should be with a film like this.Die Handlung orientiert sich hier am großen Vorbild "Tanz der Teufel" und lässt auch etwas vom Haunted-House-Thema aus "Hausu" mit einfließen. There is a feeling that the film is trying to be sillier than it manages to be, especially with the overuse of blood, which looks more like tomato purée than anything that could come out of a human being. Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell is currently streaming on Tubi, but if you’re an Evil Dead fan, you’re going to want to possess (pun very much intended) Visual Vengeance’s Blu-ray. A lot of the gore in the movie is stop motion, and there is plenty of gooey substances coming out of every orifice of the zombie-like demons.
