Horror movie fans admire legendary animator Hidesho Hino’s influence to cult genre. His books has been translated to different languages and distributed in different parts of the world. Screenwriters in particular have even tried to adapt his work into films. To this date none have come close to making a realistic depiction of the bizarre gore imagination of Hidesho except for the six directors who brought “Theater of Horror to the Screen”
This box set contains six Japanese horror movies for your viewing pleasure: “The Ravage house”, “The Doll Cemetery”, “The Death Train”, “Lizard Baby” “Dead Girl Walking” and “The boy from Hell” The characters from the last three movies are portrayed by well known Japanese TV and commercial actors/actresses. Yoshihiro Nakamura, Mari Asato, and Koji Shiraishi also lend their talent in directing the films
Theater of Horror was released in 2004 and is distributed by Pony Canyon in the US. It is available online and I recommend that you buy. For a 320 minute of gore fest, you can’t go wrong with this baby!.
