A new full-length trailer has been released for Takashi Miike‘s upcoming horror film, Lumberjack the Monster, based on the novel of the same name. The film, originally titled Kaibutsu no Kikori or 怪物の木こり in Japanese, is directed by the prolific Japanese filmmaker known for his unique and often absurd style.
Lumberjack the Monster follows the story of a series of bizarre murders by someone wearing a strange monster mask, found in the picture book ‘Monster Woodcutter', who then steals their brains. The plot thickens as a Patrick Bateman-like psychopath lawyer, who also happens to be a killer, goes up against this vicious masked murderer, pitting a psychopath against a serial killer in a totally bonkers new Takashi Miike creation.
The film stars Kazuya Kamenashi as Akira Ninomiya, who seeks revenge against the assaulter while the police conduct an intensive investigation. The trailer showcases the brutal and suspenseful thriller, with English subtitles available for viewers to fully understand the story.
