Legendary Japanese director Takashi Miike is famous for his provocative and shocking scenes, notably in 1999โs Audition, and 2001โs Visitor Q and Ichi the Killer. Miikeโs filmography is nothing if not incredibly varied though, with family-friendly comedies such as Ninja Kids!!! nestled among titles such as One Missed Call and As The Godโs Will.
Earlier this month, Variety reported that the subversive director has once again kept us on our toes by teaming up with Disney+ to release Connect, a 6-part series thatโs due to debut at the Busan International Film Festival in the Onscreen Section on October 6th โ 7th.
According to Variety, the Korean-language crime fantasy thriller will follow:
โโฆa man who is kidnapped and has one of his eyes removed by a gang of organ harvesters and transplanted into the body of a notorious serial killer. The unwilling donor now has terrible visions as he witnesses terrifying attacks on the residents of Seoul.โ
Connect stars Jung Hae-in (Snowdrop), Go Kyung-pyo (Decision to Leave) and Kim Hye-jun (Sinkhole). The series is based off of a Korean webtoon of the same name from 2020.
While we donโt have an English-language trailer for Connect just yet, from the looks of the Korean trailer weโre in for a gory, gruesome mindfuck of a series โ but we wouldnโt expect anything less than the man behind Masters of Horrorโs most controversial episode.
