Viewing Notes

has plenty of humor but more serious than I expected for this premise of an idol getting bit by a zombie then trying to find a cure in under 72 hours.

The movie is right in my wheelhouse despite the zombie threat (I’m done with zombies). My favorite thing, however, is all the on-location filming around Shinjuku and using the Tokyo Metropolitan Government towers as the hub of activity. Always love seeing them in movies having stayed across the street from the towers on my first visit to Tokyo.
