SCREENING SATURDAY 10TH SEPT 10PM (MAIN CINEMA)
HELLDRIVER
Yoshihiro Nishimura / 2010 / Japan / 105 mins
The ultimate zombie apocalypse movie, full of chain-sword head-cutting ultra-violence! An alien-spawned, mysterious mist blankets the northern half of Japan, transforming those who inhale it into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies hell-bent on devouring the surviving human population. The country is immediately divided by a wall – on one side is a lawless, zombie- infected wasteland and on the other; millions of people just waiting to die. Nishimuras’ zombies are unlike anything you’ve seen before; gunshots, decapitation and dismemberment just seem to make them angrier! Hope arrives in the form of Kika, a beautiful high school girl cybernetic zombie-killing machine armed with a chainsaw sword. Recruited by the government, Kika leads a ragtag group of desperados on a blood-soaked mission into the zombie-infected wilds to Japan of zombies!
“Night of the Living Dead gets put in a blender with Texas Chainsaw Massacre in Helldriver” – Hollywood Reporter
“If you’re into splatter-heavy gore with high pressure arterial blood spray and mutated creatures with appendages that are as perverse as they are inventive, (director) Nishimura is your man.” – Brutal as Hell
