The trailer and poster art have arrived for ‘Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl’, the latest splatterfest from director Yoshihiro Nishimura (‘Tokyo Gore Police’). Based on a manga by Shungiku Uchida, the film tells the tale of two schoolgirls competing for the affection of the same boy.

Film Synopsis:

When high school student Mizushima receives Valentines Day chocolates from a new student named Monami Arukado (Yukie Kawamura), he has no clue that it’s actually tainted with her vampire blood. Monami wants to live with him forever as a vampire couple, but his current girlfriend Keiko Furano (Eri Otoguro) has other ideas. She catches the two kissing on the roof of the school and attempts to throw Monami off in a jealous rage. Instead, she dies herself. Her mad scientist father Kenji then pieces her back together (souped up with some spare parts from her unfortunate classmates, of course) and resurrects her as Franken Girl, a hideous monstrosity custom built for vengeance.

The film had its world premiere a few nights ago at the New York Asian Film Festival and opens across Japan in August.
