Let's start with test to see if you should even bother with this film.
Ask yourself do you want to see a bloody riff on the X-men about human mutants who band together to fight humanity where they have super powers like a chainsaw that shoots out their bottom or swords for breasts? Will you find your self offended by very low brow but very very funny humor at the expense of everyone and everything? And about the blood, does oceans of it spraying out in a way over the top manner bother you? If you answered yest to the first question and no to the second two then this movie is for you.
This is a very wrong (in a very right sort of way) film about a 16 year old girl who is hunted down by the government for being a mutant and ends up with a band of mutants who are fighting humans. Its a wild over the top film that makes fun of so many things its hard to say what they all are- and besides why tell you since you'll want to see this for yourself.
I'm not a huge fan of the Japanese gore films like this but some how the this film works in spades. The plot moves, the effects are great and nothing is way too serious, everything has a silly edge. Granted seeing this in a room full of cranked up people at the international premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival added to the enjoyment, but even so this is still a perfect blend of comedy, gore and horror.
I loved it. To me this is the best of the genre and a must see. If you like films like Tokyo Gore Police or Machine Girls this film is for you. If not stay away.
