When gangsters murder her brother, and hack off her left arm, Ami gets her stump fitted with a gattling gun and goes out for revenge. Needless to say, Ami's pleated skirt and knee-high socks get awful bloody as the bad guys find themselves on the receiving end of her wrath. Drill bras, chainsaws, and flying guillotines cut and grind their way through this kinetic killfest that will thrill fans of extreme horror and Robert Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR. [More]

Machine Girl is a creative Japanese splatterfest that has just enough heart to make up for its numerous shortcomings.

It thrives on being nothing but another mediocre Asian entry that's cooler in description than it manages to be as a film...

one of those movies that is successful only because it tries to be bad

It's smart enough to really cut loose and relaxed enough to be funny.

Though bored at times by the repetitive artlessness of the gore ... I was entertained by the movie's sheer heedless hunger for the junk it's chewing up and spitting out.

Nonstop violence, gallons of spurting blood, outrageous humor (a kitchen scene is a hoot), extreme vomiting, a drill bra, human sushi and tempura, and other perversity.

A riotous blend of arterial spray and grindhouse glee.

Shameless gore, gallows humor and guilty pleasures are the byproducts of a mechanical plot and impressive helming.
