Is this getting a UK DVD release? If so, when?

i am as well very interested to know... can find it in japan but is too expensive with the shipment and all.

I haven't heard of any plans for a UK release, but there might be. I got the DVD in Canada for $30.00 (about £15.00).
I watched it last night, it's decent. It's not the best Miike film I've seen but I can safely say that it's the best time-travelling-ninja/vampire film I've ever heard of.
It'll probably be cut by the BBFC if it ever does get released.

I'd say this is one of his 'bigger' films, so I'd expect it to be released here. At least I hope it does. Just curious, why d'you think it'd be cut over here? The only example I can think of his films being cut is Ichi the Killer.

Import it from america from CD Universe or somewhere. There's a nice two disc set with fantastic bonus features. The quality is very high and some of the CGI is very well represented. I think it's on Tokyo Shock Distribution.
