Yumiko Hara is armed and very, very dangerous in Helldriver.
From Japan’s Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police) comes Helldriver, an apocalyptic zombie-filled horror road movie overflowing with crazed, splatterific action.
The over-the-top film kicks off when a meteor crashes into Japan and releases a toxic ash that turns inhabitants in the Northern half of the country into blood-thirsty zombies. Some time later, with the North now walled off from the rest of Japan, pretty high school girl Kika (Yumiko Hara) is charged with leading a group of ragtag soldiers into the infected region to kill the “zombie queen” (Eihi Shiina) … who also happens to be her homicidal mother! The artificial heart-power chainsaw sword that Kika wields is sure to come in handy…
A monstrous cult hit in its native country, Helldriver has been playing horror and science-fiction film festivals around the world since it was released in 2010. In the U.S., it’s a DVD premiere.
