UK PREMIERE -After welcoming new flesh for old in TOKYO GORE POLICE, special effects genius/director Yoshihiro Nishimura goes for more splatter slapstick in this freaky face-off co-directed with Naoyuki Tomomatsu of EAT THE SCHOOLGIRL fame. Based on a manga by Shungiku Uchida, two schoolgirls pine for the same handsome student Mizushima. On Valentine’s Day, Monami gives him a box of chocolates that she hints represent life. For Monami is a vampire, and the chocolates contain her blood, because she wants the two of them to live together eternally. But Mizushima already has a girlfriend. Keiko. And she’s furious over Monami’s romantic overtures. Fortunately she’s got a mad scientist father, with a secret laboratory on school property, and he turns his daughter into a Franken-Keiko Monster made of bits and pieces chopped from the cooling corpses of her classmates. Let the fighting, beating, stabbing, chewing, clawing showdown high atop Tokyo Tower begin.
