‘Geisha War’ – First Look at ‘Tokyo Gore Police’ Director Yoshihiro Nishimura’s New Splatter Movie
Fresh off this year’s brand new movie Holy Mother, Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police) is now gearing up for another new one. His next is titled Geisha War, and production has wrapped on the horror/action movie from Girls and Corpses Films.
“My concept was always to bring an American actor to Japan to make this Yoshihiro’s first Japanese American co-production,” explains producer Robert Rhine. ”So, I cast actor Costas Mandylor (Hoffman in Saw III, IV, V, VI) for the American lead, Carmine.”
The cast also includes Robert Rhine (Cynthia, Exorcism At 60,000 Feet, Pig Killer) and Chuck Johnson (Snake Eyes), with Yoshika Nishi, Kakeru Nijiwo, Arata Yamanaka, Shun Sugar, Yuya Ishikawa, Fujio Zama, Tamao Sato. Itsuki Ohtaki and Natsumi Tadano.
In the upcoming Japanese action-horror movie Geisha War, rival bosses of Japanese Yakuza and American Mafia fight for control over the historic brothel/Geisha street in Yoshiwara, the historic pleasure quarter of old Edo, Tokyo. Blood is shed… like fountains.
The story was written by Robert Rhine and Yoshihiro Nishimura and scripted by Daniel Benton and Jun Tsugida.
Yoshihiro Nishimura is known for his gory blasts of insanity including Tokyo Gore Police and Mutant Girls Squad, so expect Geisha War to be cut from the same cloth. Check out some sneak peek images above and down below and expect more on the film very soon.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
