"Dead Sushi" hits a note of insanity that's wholly entertaining and
frequently uproarious. It's a Japanese production that manages to merge
the madcap and the macabre with a defined sense of humor, making sure to
remind those horrified by the geysers of blood and peels of filleted
skin that, in the end, it's all about having a good time at the movies.
It's a difficult tonal tightrope walk, yet writer/director Noboru Iguchi
manages to construct an outlandish feature that never overstays its
welcome and offers some true originality as it mines the monster madness
of old. After all, it's nearly impossible to dislike a film that
highlights flying sushi, a man-sized tuna antagonist (wielding an ax,
natch), and offers a song performed by a friendly portion of tamago.
"Dead Sushi" is nuts, but its absurdity is most appetizing. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
