Kenichi UGANA 宇賀那健一

悪魔がはらわたでいけにえで私

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Following a gory and gooey prelude set in the outbreak of a demon plague, the film explores what a new normal might look like in the midst of a state of emergency. Kenichi UGANA’s wild homage to genre cinema tackles topics of isolation and apathy, and blurs the border between humans and monsters – with a pinch of sarcasm and rock’n’roll.
