Skeptik is leading the charge as we cover Yuji Shimomura's high octane horror fantasy Death Trance! Beautiful costumes/set design, all sorts of fun weapons, vampires, zombies, kitana-wielding twins…
So quick synopsis on this one.
A man who I will refer to as the Coffin Man about 200 times.
He steals a coffin.
There's a reason for every nickname.
You can't just give yourself one.
Someone has to give it to you.
There's got to be a clear link.
So the Coffin Man steals a coffin.
And this said coffin is supposed to grant a wish.
He stole it from an order of monks, and a young monk is sent to retrieve it from him.
We have a treasure hunter who gets mixed up in things, and basically it's a race to this forest where the prophecy says this coffin will... grant a wish or potentially in the world, depending who you ask.
It's really a perspective thing.
I kind of fucked with that, though.
I was like, oh, that's pretty sick.
I like the vagueness about it.
By the way, I'm looking up on the cast list, and it says that his name is Grave.
Yes.
Yeah, I was like, that's hilarious.
Which no one ever said.
No one ever
says anyone's name in this movie.
I'm looking at the cast list, and I'm like, there's names?
That's what I mean.
It's so fucking weird.
But, yeah, there's a story in there somewhere, but it was really just an excuse for so many fucking sick costumes, dude.
