Dead Sushi

Dead Sushi (デッド寿司, 2012) is a Japanese splatter-horror-comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Noboru Iguchi. Keiko, daughter of a notoriously strict sushi master, runs away from home and takes a job at a rural inn — arriving just as a disgruntled pharmaceutical researcher spikes the evening meal with a reanimating serum.

The sushi comes to life. And it bites back. Martial artist Rina Takeda (High Kick Girl!) plays Keiko with total physical commitment, trading kicks with flying rolls and murderous tuna pieces in complete deadpan. Iguchi — the director behind The Machine Girl and Robo-Geisha — operates in full splatter-camp mode: blood in industrial quantities, zero narrative logic, maximum energy. If you already know you like this kind of film, it delivers on every promise. Stream Dead Sushi online on iFILM.
