It’s kind of fitting that this the second of our disc-release update items today, as one of the movies covered concerns a different kind of #2…

Coincidentally or not, two films by Japanese crazy man Noboru Iguchi that played fests together this year will come out on the same day in early 2013 from two different companies. DEAD SUSHI (pictured), about a girl whose martial-arts skills outshine her ability to concoct fishy treats and finds they come in handy when the seafood turns savage, and ZOMBIE ASS: TOILET OF THE DEAD, in which a vanload of friends have a crappy time thanks to ghouls who rise from an outhouse, will both make their U.S. DVDebuts January 22. SUSHI will be released by Millennium Home Entertainment, priced at $14.99, while ASS will be issued by Media Blasters on the Tokyo Shock label, for $16.98; further details are forthcoming. See our review of both flicks here. 

A little further down the road, on February 26, Xenon Pictures sheds RED TEARS on DVD. A.k.a. MONSTER KILLER, it’s a high-powered hybrid of the horror and crime genres in which a pair of detectives tracking a serial decapitator and run afoul of vicious supernatural creatures. It was directed by Takanori Tsujimoto from a script he wrote with Eiichi Yonekawa and produced by Asian action veteran Yasuaki Kurata, who also stars; retail price is $16.98, and more details are TBA on this one too. Watch for more coverage of these flicks in future issues of Fango, and look for a major update to our DVD/Blu-ray List to hit shortly here.
