Fans of Japanese exploitation cinema are in for on Hell of a treat, as Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell (AKA The Japanese Evil Dead) is coming to UK DVD on April 24 courtesy of Terracotta Distribution. This crazy-sounding gore fest will be available on both Amazon and Terracotta’s website. Best of all, the DVD will be region 0, so those of you outside the UK will be able to import a copy and enjoy it at home.

Originally released in Japan in 2014, Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell was directed by Shinichi Fukazawa, who stars in the film alongside Asako Nosaka, Masaaki Kai (I think that’s the entire cast) and runs for a tight 62 minutes. Overall, it looks like our kind of shit.
