Weekly Como - Higanjima - Escape From Vampire Island - 03/10/2010 - FINISHED
Yeah, I know, I know. That title is pretty stupid. But who cares - it's a great film! And it could be all yours for diddly-squat in this week's weekly competition. Label: Manga Entertainment Release date: 4th October 2010 Release type: DVD, Blu-ray Certificate: tbc Running time: 120 mins Pricing: DVD £15.99, Blu-ray £19.99 Genre: Eastern cinema Director: Kim Tae-Gyun Stars: Hideo Ishiguro, Dai Watanabe, Asami Mizukawa “KINETIC AND ENORMOUSLY BLOODY… DAMN ENTERTAINING.” – TWITCH. From the ‘Twilight’ movies [ ] to television’s ‘True Blood’, screen vampires have never been hotter than they are right now, so it should come as no surprise that Asian filmmakers would be keen to add a bit of spice to the genre with their own unique style and sensibilities. That’s certainly the case with Higanjima – Escape From Vampire Island, a brand new live-action horror movie based on the best-selling manga series by Koji Matsumoto, coming to DVD and Blu-ray in October 2010. Brought to the screen by the South Korean director of ‘Volcano High’, Kim Tae-gyun, and faithfully adapted by the Japanese screenwriter of the ‘Death Note’ movies, Oishi Tetsuya, Higanjima – Escape From Vampire Island takes the vampire genre and its myths to new extremes, adding samurai sword action, undead mad scientists, fearlessly devoted vampire slayers, winged harpies, a bunch of hapless teens and, yes, a whole island chock full of vampires to its crazy mix of unadulterated, blood-splattered horror madness. Two years after his older brother, Atsushi, goes missing under mysterious circumstances, Akira meets a beautiful young woman, Rei, who is in possession of Atsushi’s ID card and claims he is still alive and can be found on the remote, uncharted Japanese island of Higanjima. Desperate to see his brother once again and to solve the riddle of his disappearance, Akira talks several of his friends into joining him on a trip to the island in search of Atsushi. Arriving in Higanjima on a small boat piloted by Rei, the friends are shocked to learn that they have been lured there as fodder for the island’s inhabitants, a race of extremely bloodthirsty vampires ruled by their ancient but well-preserved leader, Masa. As the vampires begin to descend upon their newly arrived prey, Akira makes a startling discovery – Atsushi really is alive and on the island, having devoted himself to becoming a vampire hunter intent on slaying Masa’s legions of the undead. Finally reunited, the two brothers and their friends join forces with two simple goals in mind – rid Higanjima of its entire vampire population and find a way to escape from the island without being bitten in the process! Higanjima – Escape From Vampire Island (cert. tbc) will be released on DVD (£15.99) and Blu-ray (£19.99) by Manga Entertainment on 4th October 2010. So how do three lucky people win this on either DVD or Blu-Ray? Simple! I went to see the AMAZING Back To The Future (theatrical re-release) last night. Sooo all you have to do is, if you possessed that time-traveling Delorean, where would you travel to in the past/future and what would you change? The three best answers will win this great prize! GOOD LUCK! Kyle

I would go back in time and not save the sold called friends life who got me sacked from my job. I grabbed him and pulled him aside just before a bus would have hit him, I would go back in time and not save him. sounds harsh but f**k him, cost me a lot of mental stress.

there's a problem with time travel. in Back to the future 2, when marty bought the Grey's Sports almanac and had it stolen by Biff, he inadvertantly changed the future. This caused a lot of upset in the space time continum as it created a paradox. Time Travel is a pretty hard subject to touch upon as there are so many problems....But if i had to choose where to travel. i would travel back to 1985 and stop my self from eating that slug i found in the garden... |

I would go back in time and win some money gambling and then start a film studio in the 70's and agree to finance a little film called Star Wars and make sure I take a large cut from sequel rights and merchandising!

Go back 9 months and when she said "you don't need a condom", damn well insist on one! (..is what I would do if I WAS in that situtation.. ) |

I would timetravel to the future to a time when a cure for cancer is created. I'd return with the result and treat my girlfriend Kelly's father Colin, so that he'd survive and still be with us today.
