The Machine Girl
It's Payback Time!
Directed by Noboru Iguchi
Produced by Fever Dreams, Nikkatsu Corporation
A gleefully absurd, hyper-violent revenge fantasy that pairs graphic gore and machine-gun mayhem with tongue-in-cheek humor and surreal body-horror spectacle.
The life of a young, Japanese schoolgirl is destroyed when her family is killed by a Ninja-Yakuza family. Her hand cut off, she replaces it with various machines-of-death, and seeks revenge.
