Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (2009). Geysers of arterial blood are made into an art form with the same respect as the fountains that grace a nation's great historical sites. Well, maybe respect is too strong a term, but the blood ballets are just one of the many squishy splendors offered up in this madness-strewn flick from Japan. Offensively violent, voyeuristic, insensitive, and stereotypical, this one has it all. The story itself seems a random crank-induced series of subplots that ultimately come together to form this entry's finale. These schoolgirls and their clicks, heck nigh everyone, are ineffably zany. They must be seen to be believed as entertainment. The CGI, like everything else, is used in excess, a trait that the Japanese have cultivated into a vaunted cultural trademark. The score helps to drive the lighthearted fun, a wonderful respite from the gallons of redness spilled. How the Japanese can take sheer lunacy, exploit it for all that it is worth, and then serve it up in such a splendid fashion will forever be a mysterious trait that need not be explained as long as they keep churning out more inexplicably good fun. Merci beaucoup.

Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl
Had been looking forward to viewing this one for a while and I have to say, I was really disappointed. While yes, it absolutely is riddled with some fantastic over-the-top splatter, I ultimately found it a bit empty and wanting. I don't know - Maybe I was turned off by the incredibly offensive Dark Skin Club (complete with black face) or maybe I was annoyed by the Wrist Cutters Club - I don't know - The combination of the two just seemed like some kind of inappropriate inside joke that I just didn't get because while ultimately they do merge into our main story in the end, I still don't see the point. Even the odd mechanics, violence, and gore couldn't really turn me on - I'm actually pretty confused as to why I was so turned off on this one - Quite frankly, I love Tokyo Gore Police and found Machine Girl perfectly entertaining, but Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl is just weird (not in a good way, offensive (not in a good way) and ultimately disappointing. 2.75/5 I can't say DON'T SEE IT however because I honestly do think that there are members of this forum that would enjoy it... I just personally found it lacking. I will have to make up for this anti-climatic disappointment by watching Tokyo Gore Police and Meatball Machine this weekend.

Meatball Machine
Really enjoyed this one - Fantastic Japanese Troma splatter - It's weird, bizarre, bloody fantastic body horror. Almost felt like a modern retelling of Tetsuo in some ways. It's up there with Tokyo Gore Police and Ricky-Oh in terms of great JA splatter. Definitely recommended if you're looking for something bizarre, absurd and fantastic. 4/5.

I really should get round to seeing Meatball Machine sounds great.
Shame to hear Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl isn't up to much.
