Samurai Princess

Saturday, June 20 - Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Is this a classic for the ages? No. But does it feature some of the most bizarre gore and special effects scenes you’ll ever see in your life? Hell yeah! With special make-up effects by Yoshihiro Nishimura (VAMPIRE GIRL VS FRANKENSTEIN GIRL) this story of a samurai princess with a cyborg body taking on a bad guy with chainsaw legs is wildly anachronistic and deeply screwed up. The plot? The characters? Shallow. But the endless rivers of eye-popping gore? Infinite.
