    The New monster movie ORANG IKAN is set to have it's World Premiere at the prestigious Tokyo International Film Festival. The film is a period drama based on the legend of a crytid called Orang Ikan (man fish), which was first reported by Japanese soldiers in World War II stationed in the islands south of Indonesia. In the story, a Japanese soldier and a British prisoner of war are stranded on a deserted island, hunted by one of these deadly creatures.
     
    ORANG IKAN is an international peoduction between parties in Singapore, Indonesia, Japan and the United Kingdom. The film is supported by the Singapore Film Commission (SFC). It was directed by Mike Wiluan (BUFFALO BOYS, HBO action series GRISSE, LOSMEN MELATI), and produced by Eric Khoo (BE WITH ME, FOLKLORE), Freddie Yeo (WESTWORLD, CRAZY RICH ASIANS), Tan Fong Cheng (RAMEN SHOP), Fumie Suzuki Lancaster (GENSAN PUNCH), James Khoo and Darryl Yeo.
     
    Director Mike Wiluan said “rather than create a monster to merely kill without purpose, the Orang Ikan has a motive”.
     
    ORANG IKAN stars Dean Fujioka (FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, THE MAN FROM THE SEA) and Callum Woodhouse (ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL, THE DURRELLS). The titular creature is played by Alan Maxson, the motion capture actor best known for performing the right head of King Ghidorah in the 2019 film GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS. The Orang Ikan suit was designed by acclaimed Special Effects Creator Allan Holt (JURASSIC WORLD, UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS).

     

    STORY
     
    May, 1942. WWII rages across a world divided.
     
    A Japanese Hell Ship transports prisoners of war to occupied territories for slave labor. Onboard the ship is Saito, a traitor to the Japanese who is being sent back to the motherland to be sentenced to death.
     
    As further punishment, Saito is shackled to another POW, a British soldier named Bronson who holds nothing but hatred for Saito because of his Japanese nationality.
     
    When the Hell Ship is torpedoed by Allied submarines, Saito and Bronson are thrown overboard and wash ashore on a deserted island. But they are not alone. Bronson and Saito are hunted by a monstrous creature - the Orang Ikan - who will stop at nothing until both men are dead.
     
    Bronson and Saito must put aside their hatred for one another to survive the island and kill the creature before it kills them first.

    About us

     

    Welcome to SciFi Japan, your source for news and information on science fiction, horror, fantasy and action movies, TV shows and videos.. from classics and old favorites, to upcoming productions and home video releases, to the odd and obscure titles you may never have heard of!

    The mainstream press has largely ignored Japanese tokusatsu (special effects) films, and when the genre has been covered by American news outlets and television the results were often inaccurate and condescending. On the other hand, there have been some excellent fan publications and websites devoted to these films, but Japanese studios have been extremely reluctant to deal with fan groups due to concerns over copyright infringement issues (some fans advocate and promote activities such as video bootlegging and unlicensed downloading). With no direct access to studio news and photos, fan reporting has often been forced to rely on secondhand info and rumors.

    What was missing was a professionally run English news outlet working directly with Japanese studios and filmmakers. So, in 2006, we brought together a talented group of published authors and reporters, film historians, reviewers, festival organizers, and movie makers with ties to the Japanese film industry to launch SciFi Japan (More information on our key contributors can be found here). The only English language news site press registered with all of the major Japanese studios and production companies, SciFi Japan is able to consistently bring accurate and exclusive information on Japanese films and shows to English speaking/reading fans worldwide.

    This site also receives updates from licensees and distributors of Japanese movies in North America, the UK and Australia, and we’re press registered with the major American studios as well. So, while our primary focus remains Japanese llive action and anime news we will rinclude international productions in our "International SciFii" and. "Asian Cinema" sections.

    And in 2012, we launched SciFi JAPAN TV, a web series featuring coverage of tokusatsu events and interviews with Japanese filmmakers. Each episode was shot on location in Japan exclusively for SciFi Japan by the Gaijin Channel production team. 

    SciFi Japan has grown by leaps and bounds over these past few years, and the site will continue to improve. So please bookmark SFJ and check back with us frequently… we’ll do our best to make it worth the effort!
