Takashi Miike’s OVER YOUR DEAD BODY Trailer

Although not technically his latest film, Takashi Miike‘s twisted horror film Over Your Dead Body will be getting a U.S. release on Blu-ray from Scream Factory, and as such they’ve released a new trailer this week. The film revolves around an actress who pulls some strings to get her lover cast in an upcoming play with her, but things begin to go wrong as the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred. Basically, it’s bat-shit insane like many of Miike’s films.

Over Your Dead Body will be hitting shelves January 5th, but in the meantime you can check out his latest film released in the States, Yakuza Apocalypse (also bat-shit), now on VOD platforms.

A beautiful actress plays the protagonist in a new play based on a legendary ghost story. She pulls some strings to get her lover cast in the play, although he’s a relatively unknown actor. With the cast in place, rehearsals for the play, about an abusive relationship and a grudge, begin. But off stage, some begin to develop their own obsessions. Trapped between the play and reality, they are horrified to find that a real grudge can cross the blurred line between reality and fantasy. Will love flourish? Or has it already turned hideously dark?
