Shout Factory to Release Takashi Miike's Over Your Dead Body on Blu-ray

Shout Factory will release on Blu-ray Japanese auteur Takashi Miike's (Ichi the Killer) film Over Your Dead Body a.k.a. Kuime (2014), starring Ko Shibasaki, Hitomi Katayama, and Ebizô Ichikawa. The release will be available for purchase on October 6.

Last year, the film had its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (Vanguard Section).

Synopsis: A star, Miyuki Goto (Ko Shibasaki) plays Oiwa, the protagonist in a new play based on the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan. She pulls some strings to get her lover, Kosuke Hasegawa (Ebizo Ichikawa) cast in the play, even though he's a relatively unknown actor. Other performers Rio Asahina (Miho Nakanishi) and Jun Suzuki (Hideaki Ito) lust after Miyuki. Off stage the cast's possessive love and obsessions exist as reality. Trapped between the play and reality, the cast's feelings for each other are amplified. When it becomes clear that love is not meant to be both on and off stage, love turns into a grudge and crosses the blurred line between reality and fantasy. (Synopsis courtesy of TIFF).
