Movie Review: Too Self Reflexsive
Summary: 2 Stars
Wearing its influences on its sleeve--or, more accurately, its right hand--STACY is steeped in zombie tradition. When girls turn fifteen, their days are numbered. They'll soon die and become resurrected as zombies known as "Stacy's." These deadly, albeit cute, creatures of the undead are dispatched by the brave men of the Romero Squads (whose recruiting commercials tout, "Kill your own daughters!").
In STACY we follow Eiko (Natsuki Kato), a lass experiencing the last euphoric days before death with Shibukawa (Toshinori Omi), a hapless puppeteer who has agreed to "multiple kill" her upon her inopportune return. The audience is also made privy to the less-than-ethical experiments of zombologist Dr. Inugami Sukekiyo (Yasutaka Tsutsui) who has determined through endless study that Stacy's continue to twitch until they've been cut up into 165 distinct bits.
While STACY may have a good sense of humour (like the Bruce Campbell Model chainsaws), the action scenes feel forced and the zombies are less than frightening as they shamble around in their schoolgirl uniforms
Movie Review: rent it for the gore
Summary: 2 Stars
There's plenty. However don't try to make much sense of the story. Like a lot of Japanese horror films it goes off on a weird nonsensical tangent towards the end and I found myself saying over and over again "It's not over yet? It's not over yet?" as I fast forwarded through it. Outside of the buckets and buckets of dismembered body parts, zombies chomping on intestines and a mad scientist's experiments the film, whose last half resembles Day of the Dead, isn't really that good. What promises to be a fun, roller coaster ride of a horror film falls flat on its face focusing on one guy's quest to find his zombie girlfriend and another guy's last days with his soon-to-be zombie girlfriend who has possibly the most annoying laugh ever. Not to mention the irritating, glass bell she carries everywhere she goes. Also, the soundtrack is so inappropriately corny that it detracts from the movie. Instead of some eerie atmospheric music, we get cheesy soft jazz. Whatever! Fast forward to the gory scenes but nevermind the story, it's really not worth the effort.
Movie Review: I'd give it Zero stars if possible
Summary: 1 Stars
I am an avid horror movie fan. I also love dark comedies and this was by far the worst movie i have ever seen. Each copy of this movie should be burned in a fire before it's mindnumbing LACK of plot, acting talent, and gore spread to more movie fans. In theory the story itself sounds extremely promising, however this is a movie that i could not turn away from while watching because i just kept assuming, "it has to get better at some point right?". Wrong. The acting is absolutely horrendous. The gore is really not nearly as gorey as others on here would lead you to believe. And the general underlying premise of love in the story is far too care bear and cotton candy campy for any actual person to believe. If you have any theatre background or appreciation of fine arts at all, watching this movie all the way through will only prove that you have masocistic tendencies towards your own intelligence. Save yourselves.Movie Review: T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E

I don't know what was going through my head when I paid forty dollars for this at HMV. Reviews I read made it seem somewhat okay, but no, no it's just terrible. From the moment I pressed play I was dissapointed. The Camera quality was awful, acting awful, gore effects...incredibly awful. Seriously, this looked like it was done by a bunch of film students who don't have any knowledge of effective film making, and think that if they use American icons they can win people over, hence the "Bruce Campbell's right arm 2" chainsaw they advertise in the film. This is probably the worst thing I've ever bought, luckily I talked my way into trading it for The Fresh Prince season one, which is one laugh after another, oh what a crazy mismatch! But just dont ever make the mistake of thinking it might be good. dont buy it, rent it, or even talk about it. Thank you.Movie Review: Shot on tape
Summary: 1 Stars
What a weird film.
Lots of gore. It reminded me of Re-animator at times, Japanese style. Maybe if it was made on a more serious note rather than such a campy style, it might make a good movie.
The fact that it was shot on tape didn't help it one bit either. I hate that.
And the theme... something must have definitely been lost in translation because I did not understand the point of this movie at all.
You take your chances on this one. I can't recommended it but neither can I trash it. Zombies. Japanese schoolgirls. Lots of blood and gore. Did I mention shot on tape?
