.” The picture is a gory-fantasy-action film by Japanese VFX master, artist, and director Nishimura Yoshihiro.

Nishimura is a prolific special effects artist with over 100 film credits ranging from effects work to writing and directing. Credits across the J-sploitation genre include “Tokyo Gore Police,” “Meatball Machine Kodoku” and the recent “Tokyo Dragon Chef.” The story focuses on Onimanji, portrayed by Mimoto Masanori , a Samurai Ninja who’s been cursed and sealed in an urn for over 600 years, but is resurrected in the present day by the assassin-for-hire outfit, Kika Company. Despite being a master swordsman, Onimanji faces many challenges in the 21st century and is condemned to work with an eccentric team of misfits. These include his sexy and cool-headed boss Kika and a bumbling assassin colleague, played by Ishikawa Yuya .

The new picture combines Nishimura’s signature body horror mutant characters, extravagant costumes, satirical humor and blood-splattering samurai sword-gun fights. “Fanboys, anime-enthusiasts as well as the next generation of audience can expect a whole 115 minutes of fantastical visual feast from beginning to end credit,” said Erika Kao-Haley, MultiVisionnaire’s managing partner who acquired the film from producer Nishimura Motion Picture Mode Makers Group. MultiVisionnaire will premiere the film to international buyers at this year’s Marche du Film in Cannes.
