DEAD SUSHI [2012]

It's no secret that camp director Noboru Iguchi is a little bit weird & has a taste for naked girls, so Dead Sushi shouldn't really come as a surprise...unless of course you've never seen zombie sushi before.
It's a sort of "see it to believe it" type of situation with it's manic energy, oddball lowbrow comedy and taste for buckets of CGI blood.  It runs about 30 minutes too long, while it focuses on the actions of boring one-note characters and not enough on the hilariously more developed pieces of sushi.  The joke wears pretty thin as you realize Iguchi used up all his imagination at the 30 minute mark and the film's action and jokes begin to recycle themselves.  

2 unusual textures with strong iron tastes out of 5
