Several years after the first mentioning, the first poster and several very interesting stills have been releases for the three-part omnibus from South Korean directors Kim Ji-Woon (A Bittersweet Life, The Good The Bad The Weird, I Saw The Devil) and Yim Pil Sung (Antarctic Journal) Doomsday Book. The film is supposed to be released in March, so a first trailer should be just around the corner…

Looks like Machine Girl and RoboGeisha director Noboru Iguchi is at it again, this time he combines the more or less popular themes zombies, school girls, gore…and poop.
His latest film Zombie Ass will premiere during the upcoming Fantastic Fest in Austin.

Synopsis:

Wracked with guilt over the suicide of her sister Ai, who was tormented by high school bullies, pretty young karate student Megumi accompanies a group of older friends on a trip into the woods: smart girl Aya, her druggie boyfriend Tak, big-boobed model Maki, and nerdy Naoi. Things start to go badly when Maki finds a parasitical worm inside a fish they catch – and wolfs it down alive, in the hope that it’ll help keep her skinny! And then….zombies! The group is attacked by a crowd of poop-covered undead who emerge from an outhouse toilet, and seek refuge at the home of strange Dr. Tanaka and his daughter Sachi. But unbeknownst to them, Tanaka has been conducting experiments on the parasites–and the zombies!–and has another fate in mind for the five strangers from the city. What’s the connection between the parasites and the undead? And can Megumi’s karate alone help them escape, or will she have to rely on the liberating power of farts to save the day?
