Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell (1995) is a Japanese Evil Dead remake that I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a body builder whose father committed a gruesome crime long before he was born. When his father dies he is left an old house he never knew about. The body builder and his girlfriend visit the house where they become trapped and haunted by the sins of the body builder's father's past.
This movie is written by, stars and is directed by Shinichi Fukazawa, in his directorial debut. This also stars Masaaki Kai, Masahiro Kai and Aki Tama Mai.
This is a movie that's obviously low budget, doesn't take itself too seriously and is much more entertaining than it is "good." However, there are some awesome horror elements. The background music is tremendous and reminded me of an 80s/90s video game. The horror elements are all over the place with some great blood splatter, gore, action scenes and special effects. I enjoyed the use of claymation for some scenes (much like the original). There are some really bad scenes, like the message from the dad; but coverall, this is a lot of fun. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
