Yoshihiro Nishimura’s 90s Movie ‘Anatomia Extinction’ Being Released on Blu-ray for the First Time [Trailer]
Before he made films such as Tokyo Gore Police, Mutant Girls Squad and Helldriver, Japanese cult filmmaker Yoshihiro Nishimura directed a movie titled Anatomia Extinction back in 1995, which eventually spawned his own Tokyo Gore Police. In some ways it’s considered a sort of prequel to that film, and we’ve learned this week that it’s finally coming to Blu-ray this month.

In Anatomia Extinction, “a man stands out from the crowd with his bleached blonde hair and disdain for the overflow of humans in Tokyo. Physically sick and tired of being surrounded, the man’s only respite is the warm embrace of a sex worker. However, when the man is targeted by a serial killer known as “the engineer,” he’s given a choice–die by his hand or join him in murdering every last one of the humans he can’t stand.”
The official press release explains, “Both a pointed protest to Japan’s raging overpopulation problem and a superb addition to the body horror sub-genre, Yoshihiro Nishimura’s Anatomia Extinction, a prequel feature to Tokyo Gore Police, is overflowing with excellent blue and reddish hues, queasy practical gore effects and is an excellent capsule of Tokyo in the mid-90’s. Learn from the rats! Anatomia Extinction has been carefully restored from its original 16mm elements and is back for more extermination after 26 years.”
This will be a Region Free release. Head over to Error_4444 to learn more.
In case you haven’t noticed, the public domain status of beloved icons like Winnie the Pooh, Cinderella and Mickey Mouse has been wreaking havoc on the horror genre in the past couple years, with filmmakers itching to get their hands on the characters and put them into twisted situations. In the wake of two Winnie the Pooh slashers, well, Pooh is about to battle Mickey.
It’s not from the same team behind the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey films, to be clear, but Deadline reports that Glenn Douglas Packard (Pitchfork) will direct the horror movie Mickey vs. Winnie for Untouchables Entertainment and the website iHorror.
Deadline details, “The film follows two convicts in the 1920s who escape into a cursed forest only to be dragged and consumed into the depths of the dark forest’s muddy heart.
“A century later, a group of thrill-seeking friends unknowingly venture into the same woods. Their Airbnb getaway takes a horrifying turn when the convicts mutate into twisted versions of childhood icons Mickey Mouse & Winnie-The-Pooh, and emerge to terrorize them. A night of violence and gore erupts, as the group of friends battle against their now monstrous beloved childhood characters and fight to break free from the forest’s grip.
“In a horrific spectacle, Mickey and Winnie clash, painting the woods in a gruesome tableau of blood—a chilling testament to the curse’s insidious power.”
Glenn Douglas Packard wrote the screenplay that he’ll be directing.
“Horror fans call for the thrill of witnessing icons like the new Aliens and Avengers sharing the screen. While licensing nightmares make such crossovers rare, Mickey vs. Winnie serves as our tribute to that thrilling fantasy,” Packard said in a statement this week.
Producer Anthony Pernicka from iHorror previews, “We’re thrilled to unveil this unique take to horror fans. The Mickey Mouse featured in our film is unlike any iteration audiences have encountered before. Our portrayal doesn’t involve characters donning basic masks. Instead, we present deeply transformed, live-action horror renditions of these iconic figures, weaving together elements of innocence and malevolence. After experiencing the intense scenes we’ve crafted, you’ll never look at Mickey the same way again.”
