Helldriver A.K.A. Herudoraiba (2010)

A Japanese horror adventure directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura.
A girl's abusive mother steals her heart just as a zombie apocalypse is happening and becomes queen of the zombies. The daughter is rebuilt by the government as an android with a chainsaw sword. She is found by the owner of an orphanage that only houses one other person: a silent young man with a giant sword shaped like the edge of a circular saw. They are sent by the government to kill the zombie queen and on the way meet a man with an armored pickup truck and a shotgun.
Yoshihiro is one of the folks who can do no wrong in my eyes. I was heavily reminded of Tokyo Gore Police (2008) while watching this. Everything was over the top in the same way, but more like a Resident Evil adventure story. Some of the special effects were way cheesy and some were spot on. Regardless, everything gets drenched in blood except chainsaw sword hero girl. Lots of the music was good for a few minutes. The battle theme just got recycled way too much. I liked the surviving characters, but it was too easy to tell who was going to be killed or forgotten. Overall, it's a keeper. I rate this awesome and would recommend it to those who like gore and horror adventures.
