The premise
When young protege Akira Kageyama is bitten by his dying vampire boss, Genyo Kamiura, he must get used to his new powers before seeking revenge.
Horror Vault's take
In the neon-drenched criminal underworld of Japan, a yakuza foot soldier's life is turned upside down when a fateful encounter with his boss leaves him forever changed — and extremely dangerous. Part vampire thriller, part gonzo action spectacle, Yakuza Apocalypse crashes gangster codes of honor headlong into the supernatural with gleefully unhinged energy. Director Takashi Miike orchestrates a relentless assault of bizarre imagery and bloody brawls as the newly transformed Akira navigates a world where monsters and mobsters are increasingly difficult to tell apart. Fans of Japanese cult cinema will find plenty to howl about.
