Hole Head 2010 Program Guide - Mutant Girl Squad
Mutant Girl Squad
Dir: Noboru Iguchi (Machine Girl)
Dir: Yoshihiru Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police)
Dir: Tak Sakaguchi (Versus)
The film tells a story in three parts, with a different director on each segment. The group of director's heralds from classic Japanese cult cinema: Noboru Iguchi (who brought us Machine Girl), Yoshihiru Nishimura (director of Tokyo Gore Police), and Tak Sakaguchi, star of the cult classic Versus.
A girl who is the target of bullies in high school is fitted with a mechanical arm and joins a group of mutated girls. The Mutant Girls Squad! This film has all the madness and splattering blood you’d expect of the three directors involved and, well, there are some surprises and cinematic firsts. A horizontally sliced head that reassembles out of the correct sequence? Reminiscent of funhouse games only with slicing knives. There’s also some more of the ‘cutter’ activity here which is elevated to absurdity. In fact some of the Mutant Girls actual mutations takes it beyond anything seen before. Sure, we’ve seen body parts morph into chainsaws in the past, but a massive chainsaw leaping out of one of the girl’s backside takes it to a new level of hilarious depravity.
The Mutant Girls squad does ongoing battle with the sinister ministry of defense. These black clad evil doers wear black ‘tengu’ devil masks that have long protruding noses. These noses aren’t just for show. Nope. They are machine gun noses and a ballet of bullets for each scene they enter.
All the bizarre effects and humor you can handle and possible a bit more. A spectacular splatter fest ongoing. Wince, laugh and wince again. Mutant Girl Squad is non-stop depravity.
