The two new chapters in the Takashi Shimizu created franchise Ju-On have been renamed for us silly Americans who don't like to think or learn other languages. Brain. Hurt. Words. Bad.

Few films that we cover here at Dread Central seem as crazed as Noboru Iguchi's RoboGeisha so we're pleased to provide both a first look at the new poster and the second trailer for the flick.

Live from the NY Asian Film Festival 2009 at the IFC Center, Tokyo Gore Night proved to be quite the "spectacle", to say the least! Highlights included punishment to the directors for unleashing such mind-boggling films onto the world by way of darts to the ass courtesy of Tak Sakaguchi. Those who toughed it out were seen as true samurai!

Sometimes you just have to let a film speak for itself. Such is the case with Noboru Iguchi's RoboGeisha.

Remember that crazy-ass trailer we posted in April for Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (watch it again here)? Now we've got the poster and a few more details to go along with it -- including where you might be able to see the film!

The Ju-on series is one that just refuses to die. We previously had a look at the combo trailer for the two new entries in the franchise, Ju-on: Shiroi Roujo and Ju-on: Kuroi Shojo, and now a new version has hit the Net.

This is not horror related - or is it? Do tuxedo-wearing mutants with eggs for heads frighten you? If so, this trailer may traumatize you. Not to worry, Carrasco Rider and his mini masked duck badassery will save us all. This can only mean more certifiably insane wackiness from Japan that must be seen to be believed.

There are gimmicks, and then there are gimmicks. And today we got the drop on a story that will make you want to drop your drawers and settle in for some alone time. Seriously. Why take a book into the bathroom when you can actually read the toilet paper?

Trembles' review this week is decidedly not work safe. I'm not even sure if it's home safe either. He has outdone himself with a seriously twisted little entry here!

Everyone knows Godzilla, most everyone knows Gamera, and lately even Guilala has been getting its due, but how many of you are familiar with Daimajin, the giant stone samurai statue that came to life to unleash hell upon evil shoguns in three Daiei films back in the Sixties? The giant stone samurai is roaring back to life this fall on Japanese TV.

For everyone who's on bummed-out overload from all the crap-tastic remake news we've been dishing out lately, here's a little reprieve.

Brace yourselves for this one. Extreme arterial spray and over-the-top acting and effects combine for one helluva crazy looking trailer!

The trailer for the latest gore-fest out of Japan hit online today. That's right, kids, Samurai Princess is on the way, and this chick is packin' some serious heat -- Rocket Feet! Scissor Legs! And yes, Breast Grenades! Aw yeah, mama!
