"Let them... eat!" Get ready for the giant "Monster Seafood Wars" fight to begin!! A new trailer has debuted for this goofy, low-budget Japanese body-suit-kaiju creation from filmmaker Minoru Kawasaki. It recently premiered at last year's Fantasia Film Festival and already opened in Japan last summer, but there's still no US release set yet. Monster Seafood Wars (also stylized Monster SeaFood Wars) is a goofy comedy film about a "gigantic mutated squid monster" that attacks Tokyo. So they create the "Seafood Monster Attack Team (Smat)" to fight the monster, but then even more giant seafood monsters show up, "plunging the world into culinary chaos." Sounds fun, doesn't it? Starring Keisuke Ueda and Ayano Christie Yoshida. This looks as crazy ridiculous as it sounds, which is part of the fun. Fantasia describes it as "a love letter to classic kaiju cinema, and a delicious homage to Japanese seafood cuisine on top of that!

Available for release, DVD, Digital
Tokyo Dragon Chef – available on DVD and Digital
From us: Yoshihiro Nishimura directs another preposterous combination, this time mixing yakuza, food, musical and exploitation in the most insane matter, and through a rather low budget approach that did not allow him to present his trademark special effects. The characters, however, are as absurdly hilarious as they can come, with the whole concept of the hardcore yakuza trying to be kind to their customers and hiring influencers to help them, being both extremely funny and a kind of social comment regarding social media and the fate of failed/retired yakuza. (Panos Kotzathanasis)
Deliver Us From Evil – avail. for release now
Distributor: Signature Entertainment
From us: Overall, this is an entertaining action movie featuring two strong and likeable leads, although the predictable set-ups are sloppy and the story offers nothing new. In fact it’s similar to Wilson Yip’s “Paradox,...

Released in Japan in June 2020 and getting its international premiere at Fantasia Film Fest, “Monster Seafood Wars” is Minoru Kawasaki’s first film in four years. The film is loosely based on one of the earliest ideas by the SFX legend Eiji Tsuburaya about a giant octopus attacking Tokyo, getting killed with vinegar, and eaten by Tokyoites.

Yuta (Keisuke Ueda) is just you average low budget Japanese movie teenager. In between gaming, ogling girls and making scientific breakthroughs with his best friend, he works in his dad's seafood business. It not's very prosperous and he doesn't make a good wage but he's proud of what they do. one day, however, he falls off his bike when delivering sushi and three pieces - squid, octopus and crab - get catapulted into Tokyo Bay. It just so happens that in this same water, top secret chemical Setap Z - which Yuta himself worked on - has recently been spilled. Before you know it, a giant squid is stomping Tokyo, with its octopus and crab companions soon joining the fray.
This isn't the sort of kaiju film that most Western viewers are likely to be familiar with, though films of this sort have existed alongside the more polished genre works for.
