Tokyo Living Dead Idol

I was expecting very little; over the top zombie chopping mayhem with poorly constructed latex body parts flying around and "accidental" shots of girls in VERY short skirts, this is a common practice in low budget Japanese horror/zombie films, kind of like how low budget British or American horror films have gratuitous sex/nudity... What I got was some terrific, but not flawless, acting. The story and how it plays out is solid, way better than an excuse for undead chaos and bloody shenanigans. The action scenes with characters that hunt zombies professionally were very stylish and supremely entertaining...I would most definitely highly recommend this film to anyone looking for a laugh riot and rocking good time on movie night...

There are definitely some good in this movie.The action choreography can be engaging. Although the budget does not allow for gore outside of the beginning of the movie, the action still manages to be entertaining. What detracts from this is that the first few action scenes are filler. The second really awkward as the main protagonist starts a scene being chased by 3 zombie hunters, then the scene follows these hunters fighting a group of zombies while what started as a chase scene ends forgetting so. It does not help that these zombie hunters never appear in the film afterwards. Even if the action itself is good, the lacking payoff lessens its impact.There are also various comedic elements in this, and many of the jokes hit. However, with significant portions of the movie playing the concept straight without jokes, the film is not a comedy.The film has a bit of trouble finding its identity.I wish it could have either played the scenario straight and just be a cheesy action movie or just go full comedy and play with its concept. As is, if you like the comedy, you only get a taste of what could have been. If you like the action, you will be left wanting a bit more.That being said it balances out as an enjoyable watch, but there is a bit of getting there.

I thought the Movie Was Fun, But Then Again, I own Several Hundred DVD'S from the Orient ,More than the U.S. Nana is Sooo Hot ,Phew.. I love her in Anything ,Like You Naïve Fans of Keanu Would Say ,He Doesn't Look this good!! She Is Beautiful - 100 % All Natural , If you are a Male whom likes (Women ,I Hope) Get It. I lived and performed in Korea & Japan Almost 12 Years ,So I know What I am Talking About ,Capiche !!

Not a good action movie, or gore movie, or comedy, or drama. Just a hodgepodge of mediocrity with less than mediocre action. And if your actors don't have the chops, don't put them in a lot of drama scenes in a zombie movie. Best parts: parkour zombies and her two faithful fans.

Kind of a cute movie and fun to watch

No budget and movie is not a good time. I'll admit the main two actors are pretty enjoyable to watch and have a interesting little story. However the movie suffers from its small budget, and instead of trying to work around it they manage to go along with horribly put together action, bad make-up, and horrible secondary characters. Japanese films can be great, but don't be fooled by the competent cover art.

I'm all for supporting little to no budget indie type movies. A reviewer online recommended this one and so I gave it a chance. It has an interesting storyline to it. Pop group on the rise when the lead singer gets bitten by a zombie. She has about 72 hours to find a cure before she turns and has to be killed. Without spoiling it, it's slow, boring and just doesn't have the right mix of acting or anything to have kept my interest. I fell asleep for 20 minutes or so but don't think I missed much. Eh, I'd say go back to the drawing board with this one...
