The North American rights to Reiki Tsuno’s debut feature Mad Cats have been acquired by the Cineverse streaming service Midnight Pulp, Variety reports this morning.

Mad Cats, billed as an action-comedy, will have its Canadian premiere at Fantasia International Film Festival on August 4. The film is also coming to Screambox in 2024.

Written and directed by Tsuno, Mad Cats tells the story of a young man named Taka (Sho Mineo), who embarks on a quest to search for his missing brother Mune (So Yamanaka). With the help of two strange yet amusing new friends, Taka must fight against a pack of gun-slinging monster cats disguised as women.

Yuya Matsuura, Ayane and Michael Aaron Stone also star.

"Fear the purr." You have to see this!! Check out the first teaser trailer for a film titled Mad Cats, marking the feature directorial debut of Japanese filmmaker Reiki Tsuno. It's premiering at the 2023 Slamdance Film Festival, the alternative version of Sundance that runs in the exact same town during the same week (more info + tickets right here). "No more depressing movies from Japan," is Tsuno's motto for this project. What should have been a young man's emotional journey to find his missing brother turns into a nightmare when he gets embroiled in a monster cats' revenge massacre against evil humans who abused them. Wait, this has monster cats in it?! The indie film stars Sho Mineo, Yuya Matsuura, Ayane, So Yamanaka, and Michael Aaron Stone. Unfortunately there's no shots of any cats in this trailer, but there's plenty of other kick ass glimpses in this upbeat, energetic 30 second tease.

Slamdance has announced its feature lineup and “Free LSD” as the closing night film for the 29th Slamdance Film Festival

Let's start with a simple explanation: Goth is a novel of horror written by Otsu-ich about two high school students fascinated by murder. It's comprised of 6 short stories, and it's also been converted into a Manga. Now herein lies the coming battle. Fox Atomic has announced an adaptation to be done by Jt Petty (The Burrowers) and according to this interview Jt had this to say:

"Goth felt like a remarkably honest way to do a coming of age / teen romance picture, you cancel out all the maudlin and excessively cute dross that usually clogs those kind of movies with a good dose of sociopaths and serial killers. I've never known a teenage boy who wasn't at least a little bit of a sociopath."

As far as we know, Petty's version is still in development. Now on to the next: Japanese director Gen Takahashi is doing his own version and according to IMDb,...
