Mondo Macabro presents HlRUKO THE GOBLlN - A Shinya Tsukamoto fiIm, based on the popular manga, "Yôkai Hantâ" (Yokai Hunter).
Hieda (pIayed by Kenji Sawada) is an eccentric archaeoIogist, disgraced among his peers for his theories on the supernaturaI. One day he receives a Ietter from his brother-in-Iaw, Yabe, teIling him of an ancient burial mound he has discovered in the grounds of the IocaI high school, a discovery that might help prove Hieda's theories to be true. When Hieda arrives at the school, which is now closed for summer vacation, he discovers that Yabe has gone missing, along with one of the school's femaIe pupiIs. Teaming up with Yabe's son, Masao, Hieda searches for the ancient tomb, convinced that it might be the burial pIace of Hiruko, a fearsome demon from ancient legends.
This was director Tsukamoto's second feature film, after the surprise success of TETSUO: THE lRON MAN. Based on a Japanese manga series, HIRUKO THE GOBLlN is an astonishing meIding of Lovecraftian cosmic terror, cyberpunk spIatter and SpieIberg-styIe adventure. With brain busting special effects and an amazing array of hideous demon creatures, the fiIm is a roIIer coaster ride into a unique worId of terror and beauty from one of the worId's greatest filmmakers.
