From the mind of director Yoshihiro Nishimura, the man behind Tokyo Gore Police and Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl comes Helldriver, his most ambitious and deranged gorefest to date. After a comet crash-lands, a mysterious alien mist descends upon the northern half of Japan and transforms the population into slavering zombies. As the country’s economy crumbles and all hope of survival seems lost, a saviour emerges in the form of Kika, a pole-dancing Samurai warrior with an artificial heart and a mean command of her chainsaw katana sword. Kika is deployed by the government to infiltrate the zombie wasteland and destroy the evil zombie queen Rikka (Audition’s Eihi Shiina.) who also happens to be her homicidal mother.
In Helldriver, Nishimura has created a multi-faceted monster: a wonderfully over-the-top action horror hybrid, complete with cannibals, bizarre anatomical mutations, furious swordplay and ludicrously messy special effects. Your poor brain won’t know what hit it…
