Dread Central Presents has been on fire with their recent releases, from Terrifier to Extremity to To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story. And now, there’s Lasso.

“Fight against the aliens.” I’m an huge fan of Japanese cinema, and the film Gantz (2010) is at the top of my list. If you thought that Hollywood was the only one tapping into comic books to gather their inspiration and material for films, you’re highly mistaken. Japan has a rich culture …
