Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl
“You should be thankful you can be
material for my genius experiment.”
Here there is a delirious Japanese splatter movie, shot with bright
colors, with a speed of video clips and with rock\punk Japanese music. A nice insane container , that spoof the society and of course, as the
title, horror movies. Behind all there
are two directors: Yoshihiro Nishimura and Nayouki Tomomatsu. Almost the same
age and equally insane. The first is a well-known special effects artist, in
addition to writer and director, two roles that he held in his acclaimed
"Tokyo Gore Police" in 2008, which was followed by "Mutant Girls
Squad" and "Helldriver". The other, however, Nayouki Tomomatsu,
is becoming one of our idols thanks to his versatility and madness, which we
saw in "Maid Droid" and "Self-Defence Force" as well as
other films that we have not yet reviewed.
The clash of particles between these two minds couldn't create a chaos,
made very well that can be appreciated even by those who, like us, is far from
the culture of the county of the Rising Sun. The beginning, we have to say,
helps a lot the foreigners, explaining
that on Valentine's Day is usedto give
chocolate to the beloved. So we are in
that period of the year and we are in a school where a strict teacher prohibits
gifts. The girls then, have only to dream the handsome Jyugon Mizushima.
Only one of them, Monami, achieves the goal and gives to the boy a box
of chocolates. Chocolates, however, with a strange taste and especially able to
bring Jyugon in the first step to become a vampire. But this affair angers
Keiko daughter of the vice. A strange
man this vice, he thinks to be a new
Dr.Frankestein and made a series of experiments that failed. But in any
case Keiko uses his abilities.
So begins a fierce battle between the "Vampire Girl" and
"Frankenstein Girl" (now that), for the conquest of Jyugon that at
some point rightly asks if they have
ever thought about his feelings. Who wouldn't to be disputed by two women? But
the two definitely exaggerate. Streams of blood shot an high
pressure, a bit of sensuality with the school nurse Midori and of course a
direction very fast.
In addition to the Valentine's Day the two directors are also satire on
the classic "Lolita" and on the
"Ganguro" fashion, which has nothing to do with Australia.
This is very followed style the young girls of Tokyo, which reject the Japanese
look, pale and sober, replaced by dark skin (the name means this, but even
grotesque) and colored hair. No offense, it's a thing unwatchable. Space also
for those who cut the veins.
The protagonists of this struggle between monsters are some young
Japanese stars. The Vampire Girl is played by Yukie Kawamura, dark and
charming, artistically born as Gravure Idol
then passed to an acting career. Her rival Keiko is instead the actress
Eri Otoguro. The object of desire is played by the actor, singer and model
Saito Takumi. Great little cameo instead for a very well known name also in the
rest of the world, Takashi Shimizu the director
of the series "Ju-on" who plays a mad chinese smoker
professor, whose lungs are a part of the
Frankenstein Girl.
