Couldn't kill it with my mind...

Let me be blunt: this movie is terrible, please don’t waste your time on it. I don’t know how they managed it, but director of this film somehow found a way to ruin what should have been a winning combination. I mean, seriously, how do you mess up a film that combine’s high school girls in swimsuits (!) with zombies?!

Actually, it’s not that surprising that the film is a steaming failure. For one, the film doesn’t contain a single undead zombie. None. At all. Instead, it has a few crazed people who just look ill due to the lines on their face that are drawn in what appears to be green and brown marker. Yeah, you heard me; they used markers for their special effects. I guess they couldn’t afford real make-up after they paid for the pig intestines they used in practically every gore scene in the movie (to be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was the exact same piece of meat in every single shot. =^_^;;=).

Since this was obviously a B-movie, I expected bad special effects. That’s part of the charm of these kinds of films, just as I expected the story to insanely cheesy and filled with ridicules situations. Sadly, the director, Koji Kawano, doesn’t seem to understand that some films are bad in a good way and others are just plain bad. It’s all about how the whole experience comes together. In this case, the film just fails at every level. Aside from a few WTF moments, like the explosive vagina bullet near the end, the film just doesn’t have much going for it.

Probably the best thing about Attack Girls’ Swim Team vs the Undead was the yuri incest subplot. Yeah, you heard me right (again.) Yuri incest. That particular sex scene takes up about at least a good ten minutes of the film. In fact, a good one-third of the film is either sex scenes or girls various states of undress. They at least got that part right. If they had paid as much attention to the zombies and the fight scenes between the two, this film would have been a classic for the ages. Instead, it’s such a stinker; I can’t send it back to Netflix fast enough.

Bottom Line:
Don’t waste your time and avoid at all cost. The yuri sex isn’t worth it and the ending is so stupid, it actually caused me to lower the final score. Due your self a favor and just keep, there’s nothing worth seeing here.

Final score: 1 out 5 stars
