As part of the Grimm Up North! horror film festival taking place at the Odeon Printworks cinema in Manchester from 29 October to 1 November 2009, there will be two screenings of the Japanese comedy horror film Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl (Kyuuketsu Shoujo Tai Shoujo Furanken).
From the festival website: "Japanese high school student Mizushama receives Valentine's Day chocolates from new student Monami. Little does he know that the chocolates contain traces of her vampire blood. She wishes to infect him with Vampirism, so they can live together forever. He likes the idea, but his girlfriend Keiko is less keen. She confronts Monami and falls from a roof to her death. But her mad scientist father resurrects her -- as Frankengirl! Thus begins a battle to the death between two supernatural entities -- all in the name of love! This high-camp, ultra-kitch splatter-manga romantic melodrama from the makers of Tokyo Gore Police is already proving a hugh hit on the festival circuit, and is not to be missed. You really haven't seen anything quite like it!"
