The start of this Japanese film is unexpected. It’s a diatribe against the USA and it’s war efforts that ends with a short list of things the narrator likes about America, including George A Romero. And that is the set-up for the zombies in the first film in the Nihombie (Nihonbi) series.
A UFO crashes in the forest where there happens to be some gangsters, a pop star on a fashion shoot, a squad of soldiers, and a dead Japanese general. The crash coincides with the dead coming back to life and zombie mayhem following shortly after. A mostly by-the-book (the book Romero wrote) zombie film that has gore, funny moments, a zombie baby, an adorable alien, and a twist that involves a cute girl with sword (of course) that turns out more warped than it sounds.
