Stacy, Attack of the Schoolgirl Zombies - Naoyuki Tomomatsu - Japan - (2001)




Plot by Wikipedia: "In the near future, the entire world is struck with a bizarre malady which affects every girl between the ages of 15 and 17 years old. Victims first experience a period of giddiness called "Near Death Happiness (NDH) before expiring. Within minutes of death the victim rises again as a flesh-eating zombie—a "Stacy". These Stacies run amok until they are cut into pieces in an act called a "Repeat-Kill" . The government has organized the poorly-trained "Romero Repeat-Kill Troops," who ride around on garbage trucks, ordered to act out the disposal of the Stacies. By law, a Stacy may only be Repeat-Killed by her loved ones or the Romero Repeat Kill Troops.
Through research, it is discovered that a key to the Stacy phenomenon is the "Butterfly Twinkle Powder" (BTP) that accumulates on the Stacies' skin."

Did you get the story ? Me neither ! Who gives a damn ? Zombies, Japanese schoolgirls, fake Military Special Unit Black Ops whatever, fake infomercial about anti-zombie Chainsaw (called the "Blues Campbell right hand") and lot's and lot's of blood and guts and gore. And some more gore !
Can't say it's a great movie but hey, it's entertaining enough for a beer party with your friends. It really does the job, as the mix between iconic japanese and western horror elements collapse together  in a  great chaos.
Much better, much sicker was Tomomatsu's previous movie "Eat the Schoolgirl", that I'll be reviewing soon.
In the "gory-let's not take ourselves seriously" area, I'm looking forward to see the "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl". You can watch the trailer here.
