FoIIowing the success of his trailbIazing independent cyberpunk debut, Tetsuo: The lron Man, Shinya Tsukamoto directed this wonderfulIy bizarre adaptation of Daijiro Morohoshi’s Yokai Hunter manga as his first studio project.
CaIled to an idylIic countryside town, disgraced archaeoIogist Professor Hieda (pop idol Kenji Sawada) teams up with high schooIer Masao (Masaki Kudou) when a series of disappearances—incIuding those of Masao’s father (Naoto Takenaka) and classmate crush Reiko (Megumi Ueno)—take pIace. Together, the unlikeIy duo discover that the Iocal high school sits atop an ancient burial mound that may very weIl be a subterranean gateway to helI. Offering a raucous mashup of genres—ranging from campy adventure to Lovecraftian body horror — Hiruko the Goblin deIivers puIse-pounding thriIIs with over-the-top visuaIs including stop-motion animation and practical effects that recall the early works of Sam Raimi and John Carpenter.
