Viewing Notes
Amazed at the things that can be found on Prime. Stumbled onto this wild horror comedy where JP idols are in a “warring state” battling other idols. This V-cinema flick doesn’t really deliver on that premise but it does have some crazy moments where a couple of hostess girls accidentally kill an idol group then decide to replace them. It’s so weird that I give it props for just the ambition of it all.
I was certain that the lead was Mihiro (AV idol / singer) but came to the conclusion that it was not her (Mihiro is much older than the girl portrayed in the film). Apparently the idol group in the film is a real group “BiS” which is even more astonishing. Anyways, this is a fun V-cinema flick with decent practical FX. I’d love to see this insane premise expanded with idol groups battling each other that delivers on this “warring state” between groups.
