The Posters of Frankenstein :
Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, New Alternate Posters



Here are two variants in an elegant series of posters for Yoshihiro Nishimura‘s Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (2009).

Poster above features a highly romanticized image of the two protagonists. The second poster focuses on Shôjo Furanken (Frankenstein Girl) in Geisha costume, a companion piece to the film’s original poster that showcased Vampire Girl in her schoolgirl outfit, also with the Tokyo Tower as background.

Vampire Girl Yukie Kawamura is armed and ready, posing against the Tokyo Tower where she will fight Frankenstein Girl in the climactic confrontation of, well, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, the new film by Yoshihiro Nishimura (director of the cult hit Tokyo Gore Police) and Naoyuki Tomomatsu.

The film will be shown June 26 at the New York Asian Film Festival with co-director Nishimura, action director Tak Sakaguchi, and visual effects supervisor Tsuyoshi Kazuno in attendance. Click through for details and see the trailer (NSFW, if you must know) featuring frenetic slapstick and literal fountains of blood.

Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl


Here’s a trailer that has been a bit of an Internet sensation this week. Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl is the straightforward title for a very twisted film by special effects expert Yoshihiro Nishimura of Tokyo Gore Police fame. Co-directed by Naoyuki Tomomatsu, and based on a manga by Shungiku Uchida, it’s a transgressive love triangle story featuring teenage girls with special powers vying for the love of a boy.

Eri Otoguro plays Keiko, the Frankenstein Girl, stitches and screws holding her face together.

Please be warned, the trailer features way over the top gore with exploding heads, hacked limbs and industrial strength arterial spray. It’s something like a live action Itchy and Scratchy cartoon and all very funny if you’re in the right mood. The only really offensive thing about it is the blackface character.

The film is currently in production and should premiere in North America at Montreal’s Fantasia film festival in July.


Here’s the trailer, on YouTube. NSFW.

Fangoria Online has a set report and a gallery of stills.
