Deadgirl Vs. Robogeisha
(Warning: Trailer is probably not safe for work due to a number of lady-corpse nipples.) I don’t mean they fight literally. Chances are that the stunningly armed Robogeisha would beat a zombie girl tied to a bed pretty easily. But what I’m wondering is if Deadgirl — the movie about a pair of teens who find an attractive zombie girl in an abandoned hospital and decide to keep her for a great many unpleasant reasons, most of them as obvious as they are unsettling — is more or less disturbing than Robogeisha, which involves schoolgirls getting visibly stabbed in the ass with a katana. Obviously, Robogeisha is far more extreme, but it’s also far sillier in tone, while Deadgirl seems played utterly seriously. I admit, I’m far more freaked out about Deadgirl, although I plan on seeing both. What about you guys? Thanks to Jess for the tip. (Via Bloody-Disgusting)
