The Threat (Aka Odoshi) Limited Edition Blu-Ray

IMPRISONED IN HIS OWN HOME!

The Threat is a gritty crime drama in the spirit of Kurosawa's High and Low, set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing Japan that has left many of its citizens behind. (Rentar? Mikuni, Fugitive from the Past, Vengeance is Mine) seems to live a charming life and is the very embodiment of Japan's post-war economic miracle. His position as an account manager at a prestigious advertising agency is enough to pay the mortgage on the spacious modern house he shares with his wife (Masumi Harukawa, Intentions of Murder) and their two young sons, equipped with all the latest modern conveniences. But one day, the fragility of his existence is revealed when two violent prison escapees show up on his doorstep seeking shelter and threaten to drag Misawa into their criminal activities.

Arrow Video presents this early masterpiece from Kinji Fukasaku, the future director of Battles Without Honour and Humanity and Battle Royale, for the very first time outside his own country in a fantastic new transfer.
