About Blood Type: Blue
UFOs appear on Earth, and people who actually see them suddenly find that their blood has turned blue. Soon panic and hysteria result in the new "blue-bloods" being persecuted by the rest of mankind, and eventually certain all-too-familiar measures begin to be taken against them.
Directed by Kihachi Okamoto, Blood Type: Blue leans on a strong ensemble — Hiroshi Katsuno, Keiko Takeshita, Tatsuya Nakadai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1978.
