Blind Beast vs. Killer Dwarf

MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

The filmmaker behind such outrageous Japanese cult classics as Female Yakuza Tale, Teruo Ishii, returns to the director's chair to offer a fitting epitaph to his prolific career with a lurid adaptation of Edogawa Rampo's legendary novel. A dark tale of mystery and illusion featuring performances by manga artist Lily Franky, Tetsuo: The Iron Man director Shinya Tsukamoto, Suicide Club director Shion Sono, Sumo Vixens director Takao Nakano, Hole in the Sky director Kazuyoshi Kumakiri, and Black Jack director Makoto Tezuka, as well as special appearances by prolific actor Tetsuro Tamba and performance artist Hisayoshi Hirayama, Blind Beast vs. Killer Dwarf takes viewers on a bizarre and erotic voyage into the realms of sex and death while weaving the nightmarish tale of a dime-novel writer's strange encounter with a misshapen dwarf and a kidnapped actress from an all-female operetta company. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
