Synopsis
Yakuza Apocalypse: The Great War of the Underworld (2015) is a Japanese action-horror film — watch online on iFILM. Directed by Takashi Miike, whose filmography of over a hundred features spans everything from art cinema to extreme genre fare, including Audition and Ichi the Killer.
Crime boss Genyo Kamiura runs a feared yakuza outfit with a secret at the center of it: he is a vampire. When an international syndicate sends in assassins who already know that, the dying Kamiura bites his loyal protégé Akira Kageyama. Kageyama comes back with new hungers and an uncomplicated plan for revenge. What he finds on the other end is bigger and stranger than he expected.
Miike uses the yakuza-vampire setup as a launchpad rather than a destination. Things get weird fast, and then considerably weirder. A film for viewers who can follow a story off the edge of the map. Stream Yakuza Apocalypse (2015) online on iFILM.
