Although there's a fair amount of gore, these tales are not so much horrifying as creepy, with unhappy characters seeking emotional solace from the bizarre creatures found in a mysterious Chinatown store. Presiding over the shop is the transvestite Count D; his cool, unruffled manner frustrates detective Joel, who keeps finding victims of unusual crimes among the shop's recent customers. A grief-stricken couple purchases a rabbit that looks like their late child, with terrible results in \"Daughter.\" Like the hilariously inept American feature \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNight of the Lepus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \"Daughter\" attempts to turn rabbits into deadly monsters--and fails. \"Delicious,\" in which the spirit of a wronged bride returns in the guise of a mermaid, recalls the folk tales that have inspired Japanese artists and writers for centuries. The Hollywood rags-to-riches-to-rags saga \"Despair\" and the less-effective political thriller \"Dual\" combine elements from Eastern and Western myths. \"Recommended for mature audiences\" for violence, profanity, brief nudity, sexual situations, and ethnic stereotypes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e--Charles Solomon\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Dvd","offer_id":45925922046143,"sku":"e99f00ac-0c4b-4167-ae20-427af8ec107c","price":215.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/42cc079807cd49fff0b70aca6eddde28.jpg?v=1785259839","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/pet-shop-of-horrors-dvd","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
