01
Tokyo Gore Police
Why this pick
Helldriver’s director delivers the same candy-coloured splatter, mutant body-horror inventions, and deliriously exaggerated action, with a similarly satirical dystopian Japan.

02
The Machine Girl
Why this pick
A compact blast of Japanese exploitation: a wronged heroine turns revenge into absurd, gory, cartoonishly violent mayhem with the same proudly excessive energy.
03
Dead Sushi
Why this pick
It trades zombies for murderous sushi but keeps the essential appeal: splattery practical creatures, deadpan comedy, and infectious B-movie exuberance.
04
Yakuza Apocalypse
Why this pick
A yakuza vampire outbreak becomes a surreal action-horror carnival, matching Helldriver’s willingness to pile bizarre creatures and tonal left turns into one riotous ride.
05
RoboGeisha
Why this pick
Its weaponized bodies, sibling rivalry, and knowingly ridiculous gore provide the same operatic, effects-driven exploitation fun beneath the chaos.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Kika and her father hide from her mother, Rikka and her uncle, Yasushi, both serial killers and cannibals. They are found in an abandoned town, and Kika's father is burned alive. Before the homicidal siblings can kill Kika, a meteorite hits Rikka, punching through her and destroying her heart. Still alive, Rikka rips out Kika's heart and puts it in her chest. Immediately after, an unknown substance encases the two, putting them in cocoon-like states. Black ash emits from Rikka and eventually covers the northern half of Japan. People who inhale the ash are turned into bloodthirsty zombies. In an effort to contain the infection, a large wall is erected, dividing Japan in two, keeping the zombies north while most of the uninfected population remains south.
