German Trailer for Takashi Shimizu’s ‘The Shock ‘Labyrinth 3D’
What a bummer. Already out in Japan (last October), Takashi Shimizu’s The Shock Labyrinth 3D has really fallen flat on sales; it looks like the only way you’re going to see it is if you have an all region player. While we wait for word on some sort of US distributor, the international goods keep piling up. Today we’ve got a look at the German trailer that features a chunk of new footage. The horror-thriller follows a group of teenagers dealing with the sudden return of a friend who went missing a decade ago. When the friend falls ill, they take her to a hospital but end up trapped in a labyrinthine haunted house. Shimizu is the man behind The Grudge franchise.
