Visitor Q (2001) is a taboo shattering absurdist comedy about the separation and unusual restoration of a dysfunctional family when a strange young man invades their home and lives. The film is directed by critically acclaimed avant garde director Takeshi Miike.

Media Blasters has also announced that the exceptionally disturbing and graphically violent social commentary/exploitation/shock-horror film All Night Long 2 will premier on subtitled only American DVD on August 27th. The film tells the story of a teenage computer and anime otaku who suffers mental, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of bullies until he fights back by slaughtering all of them in one of cinema’s most bloody and horrifying displays of sadistic, graphic violence.
