Samurai Zombies.
Written by the director of Versus and midnight meat train Ryuhei Kitamura and directed by the Star of Versus and Battlefield Baseball Tak sakaguchi this one is a fairly staightforward horror about a family that gets kidnapped by robbers and ends up in a village cursed with undead samurai going about beheadding folk who wander by. It's got some of the humor one would expect from people responsible for stuff like Versus and Battlefield Baseball and its pretty fun. Never going to be regarded as a classic I picked it up on 99p BOGOF at my local cash gen.
Bad Meat.
The other disc on the Bogof is a tale of kids sent to a punishment camp out in the middle of nowhere that get more than they bargained for when the councillors eat tainted meat and turn into flesh eating monsters. Not that any of them were normal to begin with, most of them leching on the kids, having a chuckle while reading up on death camps and enjoying some fairly graphic s&m. There's plenty of messed up stuff here for horror fans and for the most part it's well directed. The only real word of caution would be to be careful about watching it while eating tea as there is a whole lot of vomiting throughout the film. Really chunky.
