Yakuza Apocalypse (2015)
Leave it to the Japanese under the direction of Takashi Miike to come up with a hybrid of a Yakuza and a vampire movie, but here you are. It is a strange movie with a weird frogman, a guy with a bird beak, and a renaissance missionary Japanese guy mumbling in English and shooting people with a 2-stroke motor scooter muffler.
Akira Kageyama (Hayato Ichihara) is a young Yakuza shadowing his Yakuza boss and mentor Kamiura (Riri Furanki), who orders his crew to not harm the neighborhood civilians who are all going through rough financial times. The Yakuza Boss is a vampire and embibes his blood from a local bar. As with most Yakuza movies there's some competing Yakuza as well as his own crew who are not following those rule.
A young girl, Kyoko (Riko Narumi) is brutally raped and beaten by some Yakuza thugs and Kageyama has sort of fallen for her. There's also a wimpy young man, Masaru (Makoto Sakaguchi) who just wants to commit suicide. There's a ton of other characters.
The acting is really pretty good compared to what most Hollywood vampire movies have done.
