Yoshihiro Nishimura, director of such memorable fits of insanity as TOKYO GORE POLICE and VAMPIRE GIRL VS. FRANKENSTEIN GIRL, is ready to explode his crazy brand of bloodshed into our faces once again with HELLDRIVER. It’s been announced that a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of the Japanese splatterfest is heading to the U.S. on NOVEMBER 22nd courtesy of Well Go USA; perfect movie for the dinner table on Thanksgiving, wouldn’t you agree?
HELLDRIVER takes place in a Japan where half the population has become not-so-sexy flesh eaters and the economy has gently withered away … until Kika (Yumiko Hara) arrives. A stunning high school girl armed with an artificial heart-powered chainsaw sword, she leads a motley crew of desperados on a secret mission into the zombie-infected wilds to exterminate zombie queen Rikka (Eihi Shiina, Tokyo Gore Police) and put an end to the plague of the living dead.
Special features on the Blu-ray/DVD include:
– Director Interview with Yoshihiro Nishimura
– “The Making of Helldriver” featurette
– “Sushi Typhoon: Tokyo Invasion!” featurette
– Short Films
– Helldriver Dokata
– Catch Me If You Can!
– Bailout!
– Trailers
In case you’re wondering, “Helldriver Dokata”, “Catch Me If You Can!” and “Bailout!” are three spinoff short films set within the HELLDRIVER universe.
