Media Blasters has some love for the rubber suit genre fan as they’re bringing out a 10th-anniversary edition of the Death Kappa movie. The 80-minute film is slotted for an April 14th, 2020 debut on DVD and Blu-ray where both editions are priced at $19.99. It’ll be a bilingual release that includes the English language dub and it looks like it includes upwards of 90 minutes of bonus materials.
Plot Concept: In Japanese folklore, kappa are water goblins closely associated with a certain rural village in Japan. Unfortunately, the area is also home to a militant group of scientific researchers dedicated to developing amphibious super troops based on the legendary kappa of old folktales. When their weird experiments generate deadly results things only get weirder with the appearance of an actual kappa, and the triggering of an atomic bomb, the consequences are of epic proportions. A monster arrives in the midst of the nuclear fallout and Japan’s defenses are helpless against it. Mankind’s only savior is an irradiated water goblin on a rampage with death in its eyes.
