Hysterical and bloody, this one of a kind romantic horror comedy about two dueling dead girls at a high school is from the same deliriously warped Japanese minds that gave us last year’s Toronto After Dark Festival hit TOKYO GORE POLICE and the upcoming ROBOGEISHA whose recently released trailer has become a viral video sensation!

Did an interview with Flick Chick Staci for horror.com

And we've been getting SLAMMED by critics. Kind of funny, kind of sad.

Ain't it Cool News called it "the best bad movie I've ever seen"

Twitch Film called it "one of the most purely entertaining films I've seen in years"

I just wish the festival director at Fright Fest hadn't slammed it right before the screening.

I never listen to critics or other people's opinions. They rarely coincide with my opinion.

I wish they would release it here. I'm dying to see it.

There's a certain stigma with the later output of Argento, etc. It's like a lot of people make up their minds to hate it from the get go. If its anything like Sleepless or Mother of Tears I'm gonna love it.

I'm hoping I get a screener to review because a few of the critics/reviewers on the site I write for fit into that category...

Can't wait to check it out.

That's totally fucking lame and completely unprofessional.

Fuck em all.

I know I ll love it (my immense love for giallos aside), and cant wait for it to release over here. You bet the moment these shores are hit by a print, it ll be mine.

Don't get too excited. The film is a mess. My hope is that at least it is an enjoyable mess, but I can't really get into the film... too many elements missing from the script

Oh well, Sean. At least you got to work with Dario. Most people in the biz can't say that, but you can. I still look forward to seeing it, bro.
