HIGANJIMA: ESCAPE FROM VAMPIRE ISLAND

PREVIEW - Based on the Japanese manga by Koji Matsumoto that has captivated readers worldwide, and faithfully adapted by Oishi Tetsuya, responsible for the popular DEATH NOTE movie series, an Asian sensation arrives in the United Kingdom. No one has ever returned from the island of Higanjima, especially Akira’s older brother Atsushi who went missing there two years ago. But out of the blue a beautiful woman Rei approaches him and hands over his brother’s ID card. Desperate to see Atsushi again, Akira talks his friends into joining him to search the island. Once there they realize they have been routinely lured to the island of the dead where vampires drink their victims blood. As his friends are killed one by one, Akira makes a startling discovery – his brother is still alive and has become a vampire hunter. Together they join forces to eradicate the bloodsuckers and ensure their own survival.
