Red Tears

Red Tears ? is a 2011 Japanese splatter film directed and cowritten by Takanori Tsujimoto. The film stars Natsuki Kato, Yuma Ishigaki and Yasuaki Kurata. It involves two detectives who hunt down a serial killer. The film was shown at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2011.

The action scenes in the film were inspired by Hong Kong action cinema. Kurata compared the Hong Kong style to the Japanese style by saying that Hong Kong films are about overaction, or overdoing it whereas Japanese action is often too subtle. It doesnt satisfy the audience in the same way. I prefer Hong Kong style myself, but keep in mind that wire work was not used in Hong Kong until Chinese Ghost Story 1987. My production company introduced wire action to Japanese films, about nine years ago, in a film called Yellow Dragon.The films Japanese title translates as Red Tears. Producer Yasuaki Kurata stated that for overseas distribution that the English title will be Sword of Blood. The film was also released under the title Monster Killer. Red Tears premiered at the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 24, 2011. ........
