StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Paul Magne Haakonsen 'Only in Japan' comes to mind when you watch "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl" ("Kyûketsu Shôjo tai Shôjo Furanken"). It is one of those outrageous Japanese blood-fest movies. It is so over-the-top that it is bizarrely entertaining.The story is odd and bizarre, yes, as they tend to be in this particular genre of Japanese gore movies. And it is something that has to be seen in order to be believed. As such, I will not even attempt at a synopsis that does the movie Justice.The effects were as to be expected from a movie like this, and the blood was abundant by the gallons. If you enjoy state of the art effects and CGI, then you should not be watching the Japanese gore movies. The effects do serve their purpose well enough, in my opinion, and will often have you laughing.It was a real treat to see Eihi Shiina in this movie, despite it being a small role. Lead actress Yukie Kawamura really carried the movie quite well.All in all an entertaining movie and well-worth a watch if you enjoy this genre of Japanese gore.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Anyone that doesn't like this film is probably the kind of person that stalks old women and kills their grandchildren. Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl is as insane as you would expect from such a title. It's up there in the camp charm factor with Yo-Yo Girl Cop, Oneechanbara, and Machine Girl. Does it make sense? Hardly, but after the opening scene of faces unravelling/pulled off, and arm swords made from blood, you'll know if this is your bag. From over-the-top satirical attacks on class cliques, to nonsensical fight sequences, this film has all the mad charm you could want. Not to mention, the kind of action sequences that many people would imagine in their heads, and then discard after they thought long and hard about them. Here, the director obviously went with their first instinct. It's fun. Very fun.

JoeB131 Okay, every time I think I've seen bits of Japanese strangeness that top it all, they have one more thing that tops everything else.I think that this is supposed to be a comedy. So not only are Japanese people easier to scare than Americans, they must also laugh at cornier stuff.The plot is that at a school, a vampire girl named Monomi has a crush on a boy. But she comes into conflict with another girl whose father happens to be a mad scientist who makes monsters out of body parts.What we get is about an hour and a half of comic gore...and a few truly cringe inducing moments, like the "Afrika" girl and the wrist cutting girls...

oneguyrambling As with everything that takes the decision making out of my hands I am swiftly regretting my decision to take suggestions. Not that I think everyone else has bad taste mind you. Only that precious few share "MY taste". Thanks to a recommendation I am now watching Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl, and yes it is every bit as skitzo as the title suggests. Consider this: * Decapitation. * A face stretched off. * Arms grow to become bloody, bony swords. * Another decapitation. * Arms severed. * A girl's "private area" perforated and gushing. * A third decapitation. And that all occurs in the first 4 minutes of this film! Cut back to the beginning. It is Valentines Day in a Japanese classroom. A class featuring more than its share of freaky-looking students has had its chocolates and gifts confiscated. They are all p*ssed. After class a young pretty girl offers a young guy some chocolate, thereby expressing an interest. The young bloke's self proclaimed girlfriend takes immediate offense to his accepting it. Once he bites into the chocolate though he is a little perturbed to find it is filled with blood. Kooky. For some unknown reason the class has several cliques, one a group of wrist cutters who spend their extra curricular hours slashing into their flesh ("Not too deep, never hit an artery!"), another full of wannabe African Americans, replete with full black makeup, horribly out of place afros and plumped up lips. And you only think I'm kidding. Now the jilted girlfriend's Dad happens to be a mad scientist with an oversexed nurse as his offsider. He finds that the blood from the chocolate can regenerate life, something that proves handy later on. To cut to the chase Vampire Girl comes out and explains herself, she wants the guy to accept her blood so they can be together forever, unfortunately when confronted by the ex-girlfriend the ex-GF ends up quite dead. The body is given to the mad scientist Dad who regenerates her and Hey Presto; Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl There is more reliance on computer generated imagery here than there was in Avatar. More bodily fluids are spilled in this than in 1,000 porn films, and more limbs are lost than in a Saving Private Ryan marathon. The film only exists to showcase the lengths Japanese crazy people will go to in order to justify insane gore effects and nutso plot devices, and I guess top that end it is very effective. Only if you've seen one of these things you really don't need to sit through another, as mild amusement rapidly turns to major bemusement, as the escalating series of WTF? Moments rapidly lose impact and the film inevitably loses steam. Which is exactly why the filmmakers were right in showing the climactic showdown in the very first scene, otherwise by that stage few would care. Final Rating - 5 / 10. The whole thing is very severed tongue in bloodstained cheek. That doesn't really mean it's very good, but as a curio it is at least interesting.
