Little White Lies was established in 2005 as a bi-monthly print magazine committed to championing great movies and the talented people who make them. Tribute” is a generous term; Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell apes so much from Evil Dead that it’s virtually an unauthorized remake. Shot on video in 95, edited in 2005, released in 2009, and finally, finally available on a modern digital format in 2017, I can't believe it took me til 2020 to have an opportunity to abuse my eyeballs with this shit!

this movie lives up to it's reputation of being a whack-o derivative piece of gonzo film making, all in a span of 62 minutes. So the reunited pair pays a visit to the house – a part of Naota’s inheritance – with Mika’s colleague the psychic Mizuguchi (Masaaki Kai) in tow. The situation is set up to give a ghost, and to get the cannon-fodder heroes into the house, and then let the death and the destruction commence. Remi Weekes’s feature debut transforms the refugee experience into a petrifying horror film with expertly crafted scares. The print itself looks good, although given the film’s Super8 origins it’s still going to be grainy, which is as it should be with a film like this.At around an hour in length, Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell doesn’t overstay its welcome, but it also doesn’t really offer much of a storyline. Photographer Tun (Ananda Everingham) and his girlfriend Jane (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee) are a happy couple in love. The set-up and iconography are instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the Evil Dead franchise but would otherwise play as nonsensical. I started with the big slasher franchises then worked my way through other genre classics before seeking out increasingly obscure titles — a journey that continues to this day.

After binging through Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, I soon discovered Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy. Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead films have obviously had just a slight cultural impact on the world of horror creating a tectonic plate level of shifting in the realm of horror films spawning an abundance of copycats, rip offs, cash grabs, and homages. They invade like a viral infection via technology, plunging the globe into hopeless despair and death. A group of friends works to transform an old hotel into a Halloween haunt attraction in time for the season.I did know going in that it was inspired by The Evil Dead, but I didn’t know it was a low budget DIY SOV type deal because 80’s/90’s J-horror has just never been a part of the horror world into which I’ve taken a dive. Die Handlung orientiert sich hier am großen Vorbild "Tanz der Teufel" und lässt auch etwas vom Haunted-House-Thema aus "Hausu" mit einfließen. She’d warned them not to come, and it doesn’t take long to figure out why; an evil presence has taken root on the family’s rural land, and it wants them all. What initially appealed to me about The Evil Dead is how Raimi and company’s scrappy, do-it-yourself ethic translates on screen.

By the time you've managed to pronounce the fiendishly tongue-twisting title the movie would be half finished. Alternately known as "The Japanese Evil Dead," this legendary, sought after independent Japanese cult film will enjoy its first ever North American release in any format and features new bonus content.Running an economical 63 minutes, the first two thirds of Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell adopt the more straightforward horror tone of The Evil Dead, while the finale goes full-bore into Evil Dead 2‘s splatstick territory — including rudimentary optical effects, lo-fi stop-motion animation, and a fight with disembodied appendages that gives credence to the otherwise forgotten “Body Builder” part of the title. He even plays into it at one point, Naoto throws an attacking hand across the room only for it to bounce back like a ball and hit him in the head. When he’s given three unsolvable case files, he embarks on a journey that shakes his cynicism to its core. Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell" ist ein kleiner Splatterfilm aus Japan, der eine leider etwas kurze Laufzeit von 63 Minuten aufweist. That proves especially true in the current digital age, where there’s an overwhelming sea of options spread across multiple streaming services and platforms that can make finding the scariest offerings tricky.
