Overview

From the moment she and her fellow students arrive in the mountain village of Yasaka, Mikoto knows that there is something very wrong with this tiny town. Can it really be true that, for 50 years, not a single girl has been born in this isolated community?  Despite the fact that Mayor Amano and the other all male residents have enthusiastically welcomed her and the other three coeds attending Professor Ashihara’s overnight seminar, Mikoto can’t shake the sense of increasing dread that consumes her. Something horrible has happened here. Something that is about to happen again. Because the town has been waiting for her. And the other girls. From the pages of the hit online manga published in Web Comic Gamma, the nightmare is about to begin!

Viewing Notes

Borrowed from Ron and I think he noted that this wasn’t nearly as bad as one might think based off the title and packaging. He’s right. In fact, it’s a little boring as these things go. It’s not a long movie but if it was trimmed down to V-Cinema length ~60min it would be better. Maybe.

The story is very much like the Yellow Dragon’s Village by Yugo Nakamoto (Baby Assassins). Here it’s a group of coeds visiting a village that needs young women to wed and / or eat. It’s fine for a low budget affair but as noted not nearly as exploitative or gory as many others in the same category.
