"Henge" Japanese Theatrical Poster
The trailer for director Hajime Ohata’s upcoming film Henge is one of the most interesting trailers I’ve seen in ages. The film is about a husband and wife who must deal with the fallout when the husband is mysterious attacked and grows a strange, insect-like appendage as a result.
As a fan of director Shinya Tsukamoto and his Tetsuo: The Iron Man films, the premise feels immediately familiar. It will be interesting to see if Hajime Ohata adds to the body horror genre in a significant way or if he just delivers a lesser imitation of Tsukamoto’s greatness. For now, count me extremely intrigued by the trailer for Henge. The film is in Japanese theaters on March 10th.
Thanks to Far East Films for the scoop
