Another one of those mad-cap zombie splatterfests, done as only the Japanese know how to, as the nation
is gripped by a zombie epidemic, that only seems to be affecting teenage girls. That's right folks, adolescence isn't the only thing that parents now have to worry about
their children going through, as girls all over the world start dropping dead and coming back as zombies.
Referred to as "Stacies", the only way to stop them is complete bodily dismemberment. The Japanese government are quick to respond with special army units, called "Romero Repeat Kill Troops" (yes that's right), to eliminate them.
Thus sets the scene for a lot of farcical blood soaked goings on, as the film divides itself between the antics of one of the Romero units, a mad doctor who goes around carving up his specimens with a chainsaw bearing the markings "Bruce Campbell's Right Hand mk2", a vigilante Stacy killing group of girls called "The Drew Barrymore's" and a puppeteer who's lover is in the process of turning into one of the Stacy zombies. If all that wasn't enough, there's also a bizarre love story going on between one of the Romero troops and one of the mad doctors specimins.
Done in much the same vein as "Return of the Living Dead", this is a VERY tongue in cheek film, with blood by the bucketload. There are obvious nods to Romero's "Living Dead" series, as well as "The Evil Dead" films. If you like Japanese films of this ilk, you should love it. Just remember not to take it too seriously and you'll have a blast!
