Undertaker | Blu-ray & DVD (Synapse Films)
RELEASE DATE: October 29, 2019
Before Shinichiro Ueda’s One Cut of the Dead, there was Naoyoshi Kawamatsu’s Undertaker. And on October 29th, 2019, Synapse Films will be releasing the Blu-ray & DVD for this 2012 Japanese zombie film.
In Undertaker, a deadly virus outbreak is turning the people of Japan into flesh-eating zombies. The government intervenes, trying to separate the survivors from the infected. Ryouichi, a young boy who has his family and friends destroyed by the undead infestation, becomes an assistant to an Undertaker… a person hired by families to kill loved ones who’ve been turned. Armed with a modified shovel and a bag, Ryouichi roams the ruins of Japan killing zombies and collecting body parts to prove to grieving families that their infected loved ones are now at peace.
Director Naoyoshi Kawamatsu presents a moving story set in a horrific dystopian future with his independent masterpiece, Undertaker. The film stars Yoshito Kobashigawa, Tomoka Asano, Yuina Kumakura, Tetsuyaa Masumitsu and Natsuki Minami.
