From prolific and controversial director, Takashi Miike comes the action-packed horror showcasing all of his bizarre, yet fun signature style. Due to his sensitive skin, Kageyama is ridiculed by his fellow Yakuza clan members for being the only one who cannot be branded with their signature tattoo. When Kamiura (Lily Franky), the fearsome Yakuza boss who also happens to be a bloodsucking vampire is brutally killed by a competing clan, he passes on his vampire powers to his loyal lieutenant. Now Kageyama is transformed into a bloodthirsty monster who will stop at nothing to avenge his former boss. (Crunchyroll)

This is still Miike, whom I imagine more as an action director who doesn't hold back from any violence and doesn't hesitate to blur the boundaries between genres. On the one hand, this comes off as a pretty badass gangster movie when suddenly a frog shows up. And somehow it all works miraculously. Rough fights, great gimmicks, and again, incredible special effects.
