While in the midst of releasing his comedy-crime series SUIT YOURSELF OR SHOOT YOURSELF Kiyoshi Kurosawa took a break to continue Banmei Takahashi’s DOOR series, releasing the body-horror film DOOR III in 1996. On this episode of SERPENT’S PATH we’re looking at the entire DOOR series, starting with the original gory slasher DOOR from 1988, then onto Takahashi’s episodic sequel DOOR II: TOKYO DIARY from 1991 and finishing with Kurosawa’s DOOR III. Often considered a dry run for his 1997 masterpiece CURE, it has little to do with the other two films in the series but makes for fascinating connective tissue between his V-Cinema period and his growing international reputation. CHECK IT OUT!
