Expanded Screenings in 3 Theaters in Tokyo and Osaka!

Comments of Joy Arrive from Lead Actor Sojiro Yoshimura & Director Erika Ota!

The movie "Zombie 1/2 ~Right Side of the Living Dead~", produced as the second installment of "M CINEMA", was screened for a limited two-week period starting March 20th (Friday, holiday) at Kineca Omori in Tokyo. It has been generating buzz among horror and B-movie fans with its unique world view described as a "new sensation B-grade zombie movie".

Now, following this momentum, it has been decided that the film will have expanded screenings in Tokyo and Osaka. The theaters include "Human Trust Cinema Shibuya", popular for its diverse lineup of major blockbusters and independent films; "Theâtre Umeda", a leading force in Kansai's independent cinema culture that reopened two years ago, screening quality works from around the world and cherished by many film fans; and "Ikebukuro Cinema Rosa", which has produced hit independent films such as "One Cut of the Dead" and "Samurai Timeslipper".

Upon hearing the news of the expanded screenings, lead actor Sojiro Yoshimura commented, "I rewatched the movie recently!" He added, "You can feel the attention to detail by the entire staff and cast. I remembered how the background of the news showed a ruined city, but in the next news segment it was back to normal, or how a cup I placed there accidentally flew off. It's truly funny! I think it's a work that anyone, whether they haven't seen it yet or are planning to see it, can enjoy, so I hope it can expand even further." Director Erika Ota expressed her gratitude, saying, "The passion of each and every person who came to the theater has pushed this zombie movie to the next level. Thank you so much." She also shared her joy about the film expanding to new theaters, stating, "This is a movie that makes you want to watch it again once you're infected. I would be happy if those who haven't seen it yet could experience this in theaters."
