TNT 097: Bloody Muscle Builder in Hell (2014) aka Jigoku No Chimidoro Muscle Builder aka Japanese Evil Dead
Dir. Shinichi Fukazawa
HORROR / COMEDY
Japan
A body builder, his ex, and a psychic set out to investigate a haunted house for a magazine article. Things quickly get way out of hand when the spirit of a woman his father killed is revived and seeks revenge.
A lovingly executed 8mm homage to The Evil Dead and low budget Japanese Horror from the 80s, BMBTH packs all the jump scares and ultra-cheap gore one could ask for into its econo 63 minute run time. The preview screening frankly left some of us misty eyed with nostalgia for the golden age of unsubtitled, nth-generation VHS dubs (RIP Forbidden Books & Video ). Never released outside of Japan, now proudly presented for your quivering eyeballs + a bonus short TBA + February trailers from the Texas’ grindhouse heyday and the usual preemptive nonsense. FREE admission! Show starts about 9:15ish.
