The Kiyotaka Tsurisaki’s “Trilogy of Death” is getting the TetroVideo box set treatment. The company have announced will be releasing two box sets of the Kiyotaka Tsurisaki Shockumentary Collection that includes Orozco: The Embalmer (2001), Junk Films (2007) and The Wasteland (2014).

Both box sets will be available for pre-order from Tomorrow, April 30th.

The “Limited Edition Box Set” has only 170 copies and the “Golden Edition” is limited to just 30 numbered copies:

3-disc Box Set + Slipcase – 170 copies Limited Edition 3-disc Box Set + gold Slipcase + gold Card – 30 numbered copies

Written and directed by Kiyotaka Tsurisaki, who has become known for photographing dead bodies, Orozco: The Embalmer is a shockumentary about the Colombian embalmer Froilan Orozco Duarte, about his grim work in one of the poorest and most dangerous parts in Colombia: Bogotà. Junk Films is a collection of short documentaries pondering about the meaning of life and death by the use of shocking images.

The fine people over at Massacre Video have put up pre-orders for the film Orozco: The Embalmer. Unfortunately the VHS version is sold out, as I have been told by someone involved. Bloodsuckers from Outer Space was put up today too on VHS but alas, that is sold out as well. So, you can still grab yourself the DVD copies and await till the 30th of March to get them in the mail. Below the break I will post the press release and you can read all the goody information till your heart is content.

Synopsis: In 1996, Tsurisaki Kiyotaka, one of Japan’s most infamous death photographers, ventured into the center of Hell itself- the Rue Morgue neighborhood of Bogota, Colombia. With death and murder rampant, the corpses eventually find their way to embalmer Froilan Orozco, who has been tending the dead for over 50 years.

It only makes sense the two would become acquaintances.
