- A little over a week ago I asked for information about an unnamed
- Asian horror film I had rented. The story was about an unseen force
- that is cutting/ripping people's heads off. Eventually a girl's
- head sprouts big spider legs and chases the remaining two survivors
- around until the end of the film. It was excellent.
-
- A few people responded saying the movie is called STRANGE STORY. OK.
- I was content.
-
- The plot thickens....
-
- Just yesterday I received a letter from Craig Ledbetter of Asian Trash
- Cinema (issue #2 is very cool). I had asked him pretty much the same
- question a week earlier. He identified the movie as Shinya
- Tsukamota's HIRUKO: THE GOBLIN. This is the same guy who made the
- films TETSUO: THE IRONMAN and TETSUO II: THE BODY HAMMER. His reply
- makes sense since the only English word on the entire video box was
- "Hiruko"...nothing else.
-
- Can anyone who's seen HIRUKO: THE GOBLIN either confirm or deny this?
- Video Search of Miami has two listings for a film called HIROKU: THE
- GOBLIN. One listed as "more from the director of Ironman" and the
- other as "asian horror". Could there be two films with this title?
- I can decide if I'm more confused or not.
