Kamiura, respected Yakuza leader is actually a vampire. During a fight with an opposing gang, he is beaten to death and has only enough time to bite Kageyama, his most faithful recruit. He will then contaminate in turn other Mafiosi and avenge his ancient master.
After an aborted Hollywood attempt, Takashi Miike is back with this iconoclastic comedy which he himself calls his most violent piece. For his last stand announced, the author of Audition and Dead or Alive transfuses a dose of fantastic to the Yakuza code of honor and adds some provocative humor, epic bloody confrontations and trashy bad taste. A skinned swan song like a punk response to the Twilight fans.
