David Bond and Manda Manuel, producers of the upcoming The Profane Exhibit, have some new info to share on the anthology film. The word we’ve received is that shooting of Yoshihiro Nishimura’s segment is complete!

Nishimura has a great track record with films like Helldriver and Tokyo Gore Police, and the fact that he’s reunited with Eihi Shiina (Audition, Helldriver, Tokyo Gore Police) for “Jigoku No Chorishi” (“The Hell Chef”) makes this one segment of The Profane Exhibit we’ll definitely be looking forward to.

About “Jigoku No Chorishi” (“The Hell Chef”)
Serial killing and cannibalism meet gourmet cooking in Yoshihiro Nishimura’s “Jigoku No Chorishi” (“The Chef of Hell”/”The Hell Chef”), a fetishistic tale of murder, suicide and madness set in contemporary Tokyo. Iconic actress Eihi Shiina stars as a mysterious, parasol-carrying woman who encounters a school uniform-wearing, wrist-cutter girl on the street, only to watch her escort a man back to her apartment and murder him. But when he proves to be not as dead as he looks, the parasol woman decides to instruct the younger girl in the arts of cannibal cookery, though that also doesn’t go quite as well as initially expected. CAST: Eihi Shiina, Maki Mizui, Hiroaki Murakami, and Jiji Bu with Haruka Nishimura and Norman England.

About The Profane Exhibit
Deep within the underbelly of Paris there is a club which is the home of a secret, wicked society. At first it resembles an ordinary fetish or Goth nightclub, but inside the cavernous building are many hidden rooms, one of which is known as “The Room of Souls,” a private gathering place of the world’s richest and most evil people. Their host is the elegant yet frightening Madame Sabatier. For their amusement each member takes a turn and spins a true tale of depravity:

A good wife learns that her husband goes out at night to abduct and murder young women

A botched suicide attempt leads to a drug-induced dream

A girl is believed to be possessed by a demon, and her overly religious parents enlist the help of a corrupt reverend who has his own sinister plans

We are invited inside the deranged mind of a respected surgeon as he takes us on a guided tour of life, death, and everything in between

A young street prostitute crosses paths with a charismatic flesh trader and is forced to take an unspeakable journey of sex, violence, and murder

A nun is abducted off the streets of Rome and held captive for over a year, turning her into a feral, murderous creature to be unleashed on society

A chance encounter on a fateful bus ride for an unsuspecting girl who dreams of riches and fame is her undoing

A man picks up a woman in a nightclub and soon finds himself at the mercy of a cult of women who believe consumption of their sacrifice will bring them to their highest form of female dominance

It truly is a profane world, and this is The Profane Exhibit. There are no boundaries. Check out The Profane Exhibit Facebook page and follow The Profane Exhibit on Twitter (@ProfaneExhibit).
