John Cairns’s Schoolgirl Apocalypse (Japan,
2012) *
Japanese schoolgirl Sakura (Higarino) has her
idyllic small-town life turned inside-out when the local males start savagely
killing the females. Armed with only her kyudo bow for protection and an
English textbook for comfort, Sakura journeys through an apocalyptic world of
mayhem. As trauma from witnessing the violent deaths of friends and family
drives her toward madness, Sakura takes refuge in an animated dreamworld where
she meets Billy (Mackenzie), a character from her English text! Billy helps her
survive murderous zombies, as well as an even more formidable foe in Aoi
(Tsujimoto), as she races to find real-world Billy and answers to the
questions: Why is all this happening? And who or what is behind it?. 2012FAN. |
