Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Japanese director Miike Takashi, who is known for slasher film “Ichi The Killer” and stomach-churning “Audition,” Friday claimed that he does not like bloody horror scenes. “I’m not a fan of bloody scenes.
But that’s what I’m known for. And it is what I get offered. It’s what I was offered by [Korean TV studio] Studio Dragon,” said Miike at a press event in Busan to launch his new genre series “Connect.” The show premieres in the Busan International Film Festival’s series section and will release as a Star Original on the Disney+ streaming service.
Miike was responding to a question about a scene in which blood pours from the eye of the protagonist, causing him to continue the rest of the show wearing a patch. “A bloody scene like that needs to be carefully thought out.
There has to be emotion and meaning, not just blood,” said Miike. The show, which is derived from a Korean webtoon originally written by Shin Dae-sung, involves a man who is kidnapped by an organ-trafficking gang and finds that he can still see through his eye, even though it has been removed and implanted into the body of a serial killer.
