Description

Hieda (played by Kenji Sawada) is an eccentric archaeologist, disgraced among his peers for his theories on the supernatural. One day he receives a letter from his brother-in-law, Yabe, telling him of an ancient burial mound he has discovered in the grounds of the local high school, a discovery that might help prove Hieda's theories to be true. When Hieda arrives at the school, which is now closed for summer vacation, he discovers that Yabe has gone missing, along with one of the school's female pupils. Teaming up with Yabe's son, Masao, Hieda searches for the ancient tomb, convinced that it might be the burial place of Hiruko, a fearsome demon from ancient legends. This was director Tsukamoto's second feature film, after the surprise success of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN. Based on a Japanese manga series, HIRUKO THE GOBLIN is an astonishing melding of Lovecraftian cosmic terror, cyberpunk splatter and Spielberg-style adventure. With brain busting special effects and an amazing array of hideous demon creatures, the film is a roller coaster ride into a unique world of terror and beauty from one of the world's greatest filmmakers

    Die Schauspieler geben eine Hyper-Leistung ab, sehr cartoonish, erschrecken jedesmal viel zu stark, ist echt süss, japanisches Over-Acting vom feinsten. Der Film ist also vielmehr eine Komödie. Fand ihn hammergut, äh

    Der Film lag bei uns im Büro rum. Kannte keine Bilder, nix, hab ihn ohne Vorahnung geschaut. Der Film hat Spiel-Ästhetik (Survival Horror), alles findet an einem Ort statt: eine Schule, ein paar wenige Leute tummeln sich dort rum, darunter ein unsichtbarer Goblin, der nebst Horror auch Psychoterror verbreitet. Sehr gut gefilmt (Korridore... Nacht... Schulzimmer...), sehr schlechte F/X (Gesichter am Rücken, Spinnengesichter etc.), aber mich hat der Streifen von Anfang bis Ende gepackt. Hat auch Humor (komische zweckentfremdetes Kinder-Gewehr mit Goblin-schädlichem Zeugs drin... oder war es Licht?). Für openminded Trash-Fans ist der Film

    ..ist nicht verstümmelt (also uncut), doch trotzdem nicht der Rede wert! Ein netter B-Movie eines Kult-Regisseurs! Trotzdem sind die Effekte, die ständigen "Kopf ab"- und sonstigen schauspielerische Leistungen nicht überragend. Trotzdem nette Horror-Komödie.

  • Sicher toll ,aber cut ???
