"From Japanese filmmaker Shûgô Fujii ('Red Line Crossing'), 'Chô-gitai ningen' is a film that, in addition to fitting into the horror category, is a bit hard to classify. After all, its delirious narrative jumps between past and present, and borrows elements from Japanese folk stories, science fiction (sometimes reminiscent of 'The Hut of Terror') and gore. The violence in the film is extreme, so it is not suitable for weak stomachs. However, fans of Japanese horror and its propensity to show jets of blood, deaths and guts flying across the screen will feel at home. Film selected at the Brussels International Film Festival."
