I've heard of Black Metal Veins but have never seen it. I heard parts of it were staged. Orozco the Embalmer is a unique specimen: one of the most unique Mondo's to come out of the Japanese death film market.

I never got into his films, no matter how much Unearthed was trying to promote the director as some true deranged underground director. Slaughtered Vomit Dolls and the like were just mediocre alt girl cutting themselves, doing faux snuff and vomiting. Orozco was great and the soundtrack was by Corrupted, right? Or was that another shock doc by the same director?

Versus (2000)

Versus is a great pick. Not trashy in the least but an over-the-top action flick with lots of gore, and it's a fun watch. I still get a kick of the POV death where they kill a random driver for his car.

I’d recommend Train to Busan as a great Korean zombie film, and Perfect Blue if you’re fine with anime horror films.
 
Thanksgiving 2 has been greenlit:

"As Eli Roth’s slasher movie Thanksgiving crosses the $30 million mark at the box office, we’ve learned tonight that Thanksgiving 2 has officially been ordered up this week!

Sony’s TriStar plans on releasing Thanksgiving 2 in theaters worldwide in 2025. Eli Roth and Jeff Rendell are back to write the screenplay for the upcoming sequel.

“We’re gonna take a year off so we can really, really write a great script. We want to outdo ourselves. Make it better than the first one,” Roth teases tonight.

Yes, John Carver will be back for seconds. Stay tuned for more information.

The first film, an expansion of Roth’s faux trailer seen in Grindhouse (2007), was released in theaters worldwide by TriStar Pictures and Spyglass Media Group (Scream).

Thanksgiving is receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences and has earned $30 million globally in its first two weeks of release with an impressive second week hold at -31%."

It is a little trashy in that it's a bit cheap feeling. It's a great watch and I love all the overacting particularly the suited Yakuza guy who tilts his gun gets me every time. Movie is absolutely bat shit crazy.
 
I never liked Versus but maybe I need to give it a second chance? It came at just the right time where the horror community all thought that the Japs were going to lead the charge with a new revolution of zombie movies. Keep in mind that Versus came out right around the same time as Junk (DTV Jap movie that uses part of the soundtrack from Zombi 3 and the zombies were inspired by Fulci movies) and Wild Zero. IMHO Wild Zero is the best of the three. Then after that... Nothing. Occasionally a Jap zombie movie gets out there but the quality is more along the lines of:

You can tell me if I'm off the mark Bruno but the problem with you and Versus might just be that you've seen it all before. Perhaps it doesn't offer anything new for you. For me it was the first of it's kind I hadn't seen anything so bonkers before and that's probably why it stuck.

I am a Hero is probably Japans best modern purely zombie outing. Maybe Zombie ass toilet of the dead is a close second though, I wouldn't know.

If the sequel is anything like Hostel Part II, then no thank you

John Carver Takes Manhattan
 
By the way a few days late but in case in anyone cares, Adam Marcus is still pursuing a Creighton Duke movie, kinda
Since Jason Voorhees snapped Duke’s back near the end of Jason Goes to Hell, when we see the bounty hunter in the new movie he’ll have “a full mechanized back brace that might have all kinds of tricks up its sleeve … We’re exploring something that would be comfortable if it came out in the mid-’70s. It’s kind of like, ‘What would Quentin [Tarantino] do with Creighton Duke?’ It’s a lot of badassery.“
