Uncut Cold Fish Hitting Theaters, DVD, VOD

Release plan for import



The Bloody-Disgusting Selects acquisition, Cold Fish, is eschewing an AMC theaters (previous B-D Selects opened within the theater chain) and is instead hitting select art house theaters on August 5 in order to remain uncut. On August 23, it will hit DVD with a September 23 VOD bow to follow. You can find a city listing below.

Directed by Sion Sono, the film is a nutty palette of murder, sex and body disposal.

Synopsis: Shamoto runs a small tropical fish shop. His second wife, Taeko, does not get along with his daughter, Mitsuko, and this worries him. One day Mitsuko is caught shoplifting at a grocery store. There they meet a friendly man named Murata, who helps to settle things between Mitsuko and the store manager. Since Murata also runs a tropical fish shop, Shamoto establishes a bond with him and they become friends; Mitsuko even begins working for Murata and living at his house. What Shamoto doesn’t know, however, is that Murata hides many dark secrets behind his friendly face. He sells cheap fish to his customers for high prices with his artful lies. If anyone detects his fraud or refuses to go along with his moneymaking schemes, they’re murdered and their bodies disposed of by Murata and his wife in grisly ways.

Shamoto is taken in by Murata’s tactics, and by the time he realizes that Murata is insane, and a serial killer who has made over fifty people disappear, he is powerless to do anything about it. But now Mitsuko is a hostage at Murata’s home and Shamoto himself has become the killer’s unwilling accomplice. Cruel murders gradually cripple his mind and finally the ordinary man is driven to the edge of the abyss.
