Hiruko the Goblin
A school was built on one of the Gates of Hell, behind which hordes of demons await the moment they will be free to roam the Earth. Hiruko is a goblin sent to Earth on a reconnaissance mission. He beheads students in order to assemble their heads on the demons' spider-like bodies. Hieda, an archaeology professor, and Masao, a haunted student, investigate the gory deaths and eventually battle Hiruko.
Hiruko the Goblin (1991) aka Yōkai Hantā: Hiruko aka 妖怪ハンター ヒルコ, directed by Shinya Tsukamoto, Mondo Macabro remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original Japanese theatrical mono, commentary track, and English subtitles.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100991/
Video encoded in two-pass 12.5 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image.
English subtitles OCRed, proofed and corrected.
Note : A goofy horror comedy about hunting Yokai and finding ancient secrets, directed by the guy who made the seminal experimental cyberpunk body horror film Tetsuo: The Iron Man? It's certainly a change of lanes, but it works surprisingly well, with perhaps the exception of some dated-looking visual effects towards the end (I was going to say CGI, but given the age of the film, I think it's likely optical effects that happen to kind of look like primitive CGI). Performances are over the top, but not bad, the plot is interesting, the pace is relentless, and the monsters are silly and scary in equal measure. If this is the kind of thing you like, then you'll like this kind of thing.
An archaeologist, disgraced for having wild theories about supernatural beings and spirits, is called to a small town to investigate the discovery of an ancient tomb said to be built to imprison an evil spirit. Once there, he finds his friend who called for him has disappeared, and he joins forces with a high school student whose friends and love interest have all been killed or kidnapped by the evil spirits, trying to decipher ancient spells to close the gateway to the tomb once and for all.
This isn't the greatest looking remaster, but it's fairly clean and sharp, with pretty good color and contrast. The original mono sounds fine, and the commentary track is pretty decent.
