Guard from Underground

'The Guard from Underground' Director: Kiyoshi Kurosawa (1992) Third Window Limited Edition Blu-ray | Japanese w/ English subtitles

A dark tale that is both a sharp satire of corporate life and a B-movie thriller. A former sumo wrestler now working as a security guard goes on a murderous rampage in the company that’s employed him.

Before becoming one of Japan’s most well-known horror directors through films like Cure, Pulse and Creepy, Kiyoshi Kurosawa started off his career in horror with this final film of the Director’s Company - an independent film production outfit founded by filmmakers like himself, Gakuryū Ishii (The Crazy Family) and Toshiharu Ikeda (Mermaid Legend) to provide an alternative to the major studio system and foster artistic expression.
