Japanese horror films are some of the most imaginative and terrifying pieces of cinema you will ever experience. Some of these films just stay with you and haunt your dreams. Films Like Dark Water, Onibaba, Ju-On:The Grudge, Ringu and The Audition. We even saw the release of a great collection of horror films in J-Horror Rising.
Cleopatra Entertainment have been releasing some independent, low budget horror films on Blu-ray. The latest Blu-ray coming from Cleopatra Entertainment is the 2024 Japanese horror film The Beast Hand.
Synopsis: Osamu is a Japanese day laborer - is forced into a lifestyle of crime. Unfortunately, when he crosses the wrong gangsters, they punish him by Sword, amputating his left hand in the process. Osamu's ex-girlfriend Koyuki takes him to an underground Doctor deep in the dark bowels of the city to attempt a transplant. But the new hand has a mind of its own, much to the dismay of the gangsters responsible - as Osamu pursues his revenge.
Director Taichiro Natsume known for his film Love Shark creates a violent grotesque gory horror film. Even with the low budget the film is utterly believable in every aspect. The story is a bit thin, not much substance there, but if you are just looking for a gory good time, well The Beast Hand will fit the bill!
The Beast Hand has been transferred to Blu-ray in 1080p and presented in widescreen format. The audio is a Japanese language track. Don't worry if you don't speak Japanese as the film comes complete with English subtitles.
Even though this isn't a huge budget release the film still looks really nice on Blu-ray. The film transfer is crisp and clean. The audio, even though it is Japanese language is clear. There is no digital artifacts or audio anomalies that I witnessed while screening this film. The Blu-ray also has some bonus features.
Bonus Features:
* Alternate Japanese promotional clips
- Take 1
- Take 2
* The Beast Hand Trailer
* Slide Show
