Mark Steensland is set to direct TENGU

It’s time for a good ole fashion revenge demon movie, isn’t it? Who better to unleash it than the Japanese on Americans for what was done at Hiroshima. That’s the synopsis for the next project from short- film director Mark Steensland.  Recently he  has been making some noise at movie festivals with his short film The Weeping Woman. Find out more about this project after the break.

The new film is called Tengu and it comes from the novel written by Graham Masterton of the same name. There has been no word yet on any script or production details but here is the plot taken from the book:

In Japanese mythology, TENGU is the most terrible of all demons , a living force of evil that infects its followers with the mad strength of the berserk and the capacity to survive attack from any weapon. At the close of World War II the Tengu was Japan’s most terrifying secret weapon.Now the demon is unleashed again, this time in a diabolical plot to wreak vengeance on America for the mega destruction of Hiroshima. A terrifying novel of nuclear revenge.

 Sounds like a good time to me.  As long as the demon is not 50 feet tall, it should be a nice addition to the films under production for the near future.
