If you loved Kazuo Umezu's Horror Theater: Present, try Deadball
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Yudai Yamaguchi, and they both carry the pitch black, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kazuo Umezu's Horror Theater: Present, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Deadball is
Reformatory yard. Bleak sun. A baseball, blood-red. Jubeh Yakyu arrives, his past a legend of violence, his future forfeit. The Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory teems with brutal inmates and a Nazi-fetishist headmistress, all eager to break him. Yamaguchi’s splatterpunk farce is not for purists.
