Mermaid Legend

18

Screening 40 years after it was completed, this is  a rare exploitation cult movie that before 2024 had never played any film festival outside of its native Japan or ever released in any format internationally. From the late Toshiharu Ikeda, director of Evil Dead Trap (1988,) comes a tale of powerful vengeance. When a fisherman is killed by greedy land developers for standing in the way of their expansion plans, his pearl-diver wife Migiwa moves into unforgiving and vindictive payback on those yakuza responsible. Framed for her husband’s murder and forced to shelter in a brothel, hell hath no fury as the bloody battles begin.
