After debuting at Venice Film Festival last year, Sion Sono‘s crazy horror/comedy/thriller Cold Fish has been picked up for US distribution by AMC and Bloody Disgusting Selects. They will be released the uncut versions in limited theaters next month before hitting VOD in September. The trailer seems twisted, just what I like from my Japanese horror films. Bloody Disgusting has the US trailer, which can be seen below for the film starring Makoto Ashikawa, Denden, Mitsuru Fukikoshi, and Megumi Kagurazaka.
Synopsis:
“In the film, mild-mannered Shamoto’s teenage daughter gets caught shoplifting. A generous fellow fish-store owner and his wife appear to help resolve the situation by having her work at their fish store. Too good to be true? You bet! Shamoto soon discovers the horrific truth about this seemingly perfect couple…who inextricably weave him into their grisly rituals. Inspired by true events, COLD FISH is a twisted, brutal, blood-soaked drama that reveals the underlying insanity of an ordinary man pushed well beyond the brink.”
Cold Fish will hit theaters August 5th and then on VOD this September, check out theater listings below.
