Philosphy of A Knife Is Coming

Philosphy of A Knife is a film that I have been eagerly anticipating for quite some time. I was really blown away by how brutal Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre was that something as vicious as that could happen. For those of you not up to snuff both of those films are based on fact. The story of Philosphy of a Knife is about Unit 731 and the tortures that the Japanese did on prisoners at the time. All kinds of experiments were done on the people to test the extremes that a body could take before someone would die.

The director has made a couple of other films from Unearthed that I am sure you have heard of including Nails and Visions of Suffering, Andrey Iskanov. Apparently the film has a running time of around four hours and because of the absolute brutality of the film they will not be bringing this to any film festivals. I would think it would be very unlikely to even get accepted.

Now on July 8th, Unearthed will be releasing the film on DVD in two different ways. You can either buy the one disc version that will only include the film or a very special edition. This other version will be a limited edition of 5000 numbered copies and comes in a two disc set with music video's, behind the scenes, deleted scenes and much more. As they did with Aftermath it will also have much nastier cover art as well.

Below you can check out the trailer for the film but let me warn you right now that this is really graphic and definitely not safe for work.
