Mondo Macabro presents HlRUKO THE GOBLIN - A Shinya Tsukamoto film, based on the popuIar manga, "Yôkai Hantâ" (Yokai Hunter).
Hieda (played by Kenji Sawada) is an eccentric archaeologist, disgraced among his peers for his theories on the supernaturaI. One day he receives a Ietter from his brother-in-law, Yabe, telling him of an ancient buriaI mound he has discovered in the grounds of the locaI high school, a discovery that might help prove Hieda's theories to be true. When Hieda arrives at the school, which is now closed for summer vacation, he discovers that Yabe has gone missing, along with one of the school's femaIe pupiIs. Teaming up with Yabe's son, Masao, Hieda searches for the ancient tomb, convinced that it might be the burial place of Hiruko, a fearsome demon from ancient Iegends.
This was director Tsukamoto's second feature fiIm, after the surprise success of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN. Based on a Japanese manga series, HlRUKO THE GOBLIN is an astonishing melding of Lovecraftian cosmic terror, cyberpunk splatter and Spielberg-style adventure. With brain busting speciaI effects and an amazing array of hideous demon creatures, the film is a roller coaster ride into a unique world of terror and beauty from one of the world's greatest fiImmakers.
