A NEW JAPANESE HORROR FILM THAT AUDIENCES WILL SURELY LOSE THEIR HEADS OVER!
(Belleville, New Jersey) Media Blasters Inc. is pleased to announce the North American arrival of GHOST SAMURAI, Japan’s answer to CANDY MAN! When anybody dares to utter the dreaded name, Okamuro, heads roll! This new live-action horror feature film will debut on blu-ray on March 12th!
GHOST SAMURAI (OKAMURO-SAN)
“Do you know Okamuro?” Five college students have a fireside chat about the urban legend, Okamuro, and are found decapitated the next morning! As the sole survivor of the mysterious slayings, Suzu suffers from severe trauma and vows to avenge her friends’ murders. Soon, a pandemic of fear spreads across the country as the Okamuro curse goes viral and the body count mounts! Amid spreading widespread panic, the authorities issue an unprecedented state of emergency. Health officials provide the only
known antidote to keep the evil spirit at bay– ignore the knocking at the door or say his name three times and he might leave you alone! Nevertheless, Suzu bravely challenges Okamuro to a showdown to cure her trauma and achieve her revenge. Will Okamuro take up the gauntlet and make Suzu his next victim? This is the first film to explore the
urban legend of ‘OKAMURO’- a monster or phantom infamous since Japan’s Edo period. The legend goes like this– if anyone hears or utters its name, Okamuro, the evil entity will suddenly appear and behead that person!
